Unless the context otherwise indicates, any percentage amounts, as set forth in the sections titled “Risk Factors”, “Our
Business” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” on pages
35, 184, and 328 respectively, and elsewhere in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus have been calculated on the basis
of the Restated Financial Information.
In this Draft Red Herring Prospectus, any discrepancies in any table between the total and the sums of the amounts
listed are due to rounding off. All figures in decimals have been rounded off to the second decimal and all the
percentage figures have been rounded off to two decimal places including percentage figures in the sections titled
“Risk Factors”, “Industry Overview” and “Our Business” on pages 35, 149 and 184, respectively.
There are significant differences between Ind AS and US GAAP and IFRS. Our Company does not provide
reconciliation of its financial information to IFRS or US GAAP. Our Company has not attempted to explain those
differences or quantify their impact on the financial data included in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus and it is urged
that you consult your own advisors regarding such differences and their impact on our Company's financial data. For
details in connection with risks involving differences between Ind AS, US GAAP and IFRS, please see section titled
“Risk Factors – We have included in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus certain non-GAAP financial measures and
certain other industry measures related to our operations and financial performance. These non-GAAP measures and
industry measures may vary from any standard methodology that is applicable across the industry, and therefore may
not be comparable with financial or industry related statistical information of similar nomenclature computed and
presented by other companies.” on page 65. Accordingly, the degree to which the financial information included in
17this Draft Red Herring Prospectus will provide meaningful information is entirely dependent on the reader’s level of
familiarity with Indian accounting policies and practices, the Companies Act and the SEBI ICDR Regulations. Any
reliance by persons not familiar with Indian accounting policies and practices on the financial disclosures presented
in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus should accordingly be limited. Further, any figures sourced from third-party
industry sources may be rounded off to other than two decimal points to conform to their respective sources. In this
Draft Red Herring Prospectus, (i) the sum or percentage change of certain numbers may not conform exactly to the
total figure given; and (ii) the sum of the numbers in a column or row in certain tables may not conform exactly to
the total figure given for that column/row; any such discrepancies are due to rounding off.
Non-GAAP Financial measures
Certain measures included in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus, for instance EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted
EBITDA Margin, Net worth, Return on Net Worth and Net Asset Value per Equity Share, among others (the “Non-
GAAP Financial Measures”), presented in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus are supplemental measures of our
performance and liquidity that are not required by, or presented in accordance with Ind AS, IFRS or US GAAP.
Furthermore, these Non-GAAP Financial Measures, are not a measurement of our financial performance or liquidity
under Indian GAAP, IFRS or US GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net profit/loss, revenue
from operations or any other performance measures derived in accordance with Ind AS, IFRS or US GAAP or as an
alternative to cash flow from operations or as a measure of our liquidity. Further, these Non-GAAP Financial
Measures and other statistical and other information relating to operations and financial performance should not be
considered in isolation or construed as an alternative to cash flows, profit/ (loss) for the years/ period or any other
measure of financial performance or as an indicator of our operating performance, liquidity, profitability or cash flows
generated by operating, investing or financing activities derived in accordance with Ind AS, Indian GAAP, IFRS or
US GAAP. In addition, these Non-GAAP Financial Measures and other statistical and other information relating to
operations and financial performance, are not standardised terms and may not be computed on the basis of any
standard methodology that is applicable across the industry and therefore, may not be comparable to financial
measures of similar nomenclature that may be computed and presented by other companies and are not measures of
operating performance or liquidity defined by Ind AS and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures
presented by other companies. Further, they may have limited utility as a comparative measure. Although such Non-
GAAP Financial Measures are not a measure of performance calculated in accordance with applicable accounting
standards, our Company’s management believes that they are useful to an investor in evaluating us as they are widely
used measures to evaluate a company’s operating performance. For further information, see “Management’s
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Position and Results of Operations – Non-GAAP Financial Measures” and
“Risk Factors – We have included in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus certain non-GAAP financial measures and
certain other industry measures related to our operations and financial performance. These non-GAAP measures and
industry measures may vary from any standard methodology that is applicable across the industry, and therefore may
not be comparable with financial or industry related statistical information of similar nomenclature computed and
presented by other companies.” on page 65.

may have been sourced from third-party industry sources may be rounded off to other than two decimal points in the
respective sources, such figures appear in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus expressed in such denominations or

20FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Draft Red Herring Prospectus contains certain “forward-looking statements”. All statements contained in this
Draft Red Herring Prospectus that are not statements of historical fact constitute “forward-looking statements”. All
statements regarding our expected financial condition and results of operations, business, plans and prospects are
“forward-looking statements”. These forward-looking statements generally can be identified by words or phrases such
as “aim”, “anticipate”, “believe”, “expect”, “estimate”, “intend”, “likely to”, “may”, “can”, “could”, “should”, “seek
to”, “shall”, “objective”, “plan”, “project”, “will”, “will continue”, “will pursue” or other words or phrases of similar
import. Similarly, statements that describe our Company’s strategies, objectives, plans or goals are also forward-
looking statements. However, these are not the exclusive means of identifying forward-looking statements. All
forward-looking statements whether made by us or any third parties in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus are based
on our current plans, estimates, presumptions and expectations and are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions
about us that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by the relevant forward-looking
statement, including but not limited to, regulatory changes pertaining to the industry in which our Company has
businesses and our ability to respond to them, our ability to successfully implement our strategy, our growth and
expansion, our exposure to market risks, general economic and political conditions which have an impact on our
business activities or investments, the monetary and fiscal policies of India, inflation, deflation, unanticipated
turbulence in interest rates, foreign exchange rates, equity prices or other rates or prices, the performance of the
financial markets in India and globally, changes in domestic laws, regulations and taxes and changes in competition
in its industry.
Certain important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially include, but are not limited to, the
following:
• Any downturn in the corporate travel market, the travel industry in general or a reduced demand for hotel
accommodation may have an adverse impact on our business, cash flows, financial condition and results of
operations.
• Our TravelPlus platform’s performance and reliability are critical to our reputation and operations. Any
technical failure or prolonged downtime could result in client dissatisfaction, churn, and loss of revenues,
and have an adverse impact on our business, cash flows, financial condition and results of operations.
• The success of our business is dependent on our ability to retain existing enterprise clients and attract new
enterprise clients. If we are unable to retain existing enterprise clients and attract new enterprise clients, our
business, cash flows, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected.
• The success of our business is dependent on our ability to retain existing enterprise clients and attract new
enterprise clients. If we are unable to retain existing enterprise clients and attract new enterprise clients, our
business, cash flows, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected.
• We may not be successful in our efforts to retain or increase revenue from our enterprise clients including
by promoting and expanding adoption and usage of our offerings through the TravelPlus platform, which
could adversely impact our business, cash flows, financial condition and results of operations.
• The travel industry in India is intensely competitive, and we may not be able to effectively compete in the
future which could adversely affect our business, cash flows, results of operations and financial condition.
• We have incurred net losses in the last three Fiscals and cannot assure you that we will sustain
our profitability and not continue to incur losses going forward. Any loss in future periods could adversely
affect our business, cash flows, financial condition, results of operations and the trading price of our Equity
Shares.
• Dependence on third-party service providers by us and our suppliers involves risks, including security
incidents, service disruptions and operational failures that could compromise confidential information,
disrupt critical business operations, and damage our reputation. Interruptions or delays om these services
may impair the delivery of our platform and consequently have an adverse impact on our business, cash
flows, financial condition and results of operations.
• We have a limited history operating our business at its current scale, scope and complexity in an evolving
market and economic environment, which makes it difficult to evaluate our current business, plans for future
21operations and strategic initiatives, predict future results, and evaluate our future prospects, increasing the
risk associated with your investment.
• If we fail to develop our brands and maintain our reputation in a cost-efficient manner, or fail to achieve and
maintain market acceptance for our platform, our business and results of operations could suffer.
For further discussion of factors that could cause the actual results to differ from the expectations, please see sections
titled “Risk Factors”, “Our Business” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations” on pages 35, 184 and 328, respectively. By their nature, certain market risk disclosures are
only estimates and could be materially different from what actually occurs in the future. As a result, actual future
gains or losses could materially differ from those that have been estimated and are not a guarantee of future
performance.

guarantee of future performance. There can be no assurance to investors that the expectations reflected in these

Risk factors
For details of the risks applicable to us, see “Risk Factors” on page 35. Investors are advised to read the risk factors
carefully before taking an investment decision in the Offer.
28Set forth below are the top 10 risk factors applicable to our Company:
1. Any downturn in the corporate travel market, the travel industry in general or a reduced demand for hotel
accommodation may have an adverse impact on our business, cash flows, financial condition and results of
operations.
2. Our TravelPlus platform’s performance and reliability are critical to our reputation and operations. Any technical
failure or prolonged downtime could result in client dissatisfaction, churn, and loss of revenues, and have an
adverse impact on our business, cash flows, financial condition and results of operations.
3. The success of our business is dependent on our ability to retain existing enterprise clients and attract new
enterprise clients. If we are unable to retain existing enterprise clients and attract new enterprise clients, our
business, cash flows, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected.
4. The success of our business is dependent on our ability to retain existing enterprise clients and attract new
enterprise clients. If we are unable to retain existing enterprise clients and attract new enterprise clients, our
business, cash flows, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected.
5. We may not be successful in our efforts to retain or increase revenue from our enterprise clients including by
promoting and expanding adoption and usage of our offerings through the TravelPlus platform, which could
adversely impact our business, cash flows, financial condition and results of operations.
6. The travel industry in India is intensely competitive, and we may not be able to effectively compete in the future
which could adversely affect our business, cash flows, results of operations and financial condition.
7. We have incurred net losses in the last three Fiscals and cannot assure you that we will sustain our profitability
and not continue to incur losses going forward. Any loss in future periods could adversely affect our business,
cash flows, financial condition, results of operations and the trading price of our Equity Shares.
8. Dependence on third-party service providers by us and our suppliers involves risks, including security incidents,
service disruptions and operational failures that could compromise confidential information, disrupt critical
business operations, and damage our reputation. Interruptions or delays om these services may impair the
delivery of our platform and consequently have an adverse impact on our business, cash flows, financial
condition and results of operations.
9. We have a limited history operating our business at its current scale, scope and complexity in an evolving market
and economic environment, which makes it difficult to evaluate our current business, plans for future operations
and strategic initiatives, predict future results, and evaluate our future prospects, increasing the risk associated
with your investment.
10. If we fail to develop our brands and maintain our reputation in a cost-efficient manner, or fail to achieve and
maintain market acceptance for our platform, our business and results of operations could suffer.
Summary of contingent liabilities of our Company
As of September 30, 2025, our contingent liabilities as per Ind AS 37 and the Restated Financial Information were as
follows:
(₹ in million)
Contingent liabilities
Goods and Service Tax Matters* 22.71
Income Tax(i) 147.68
Other civil cases(ii) 77.45
*After considering the revised demand order wherein demand has been reduced to ₹ 1.08 million, subsequent to the reporting period.
Notes:
(i) The Company has received an Income tax order from the Assistant Commissioner of Income Tax for AY 2017–18 and 2021–22, in which the
Assessing Officer has reduced the returned losses and raised a demand of ₹ 27.40 million and ₹ 120.28 million respectively, on account of certain
disallowances and unexplained credit. Management is of the view, based upon expert advice, that it will not have any impact on the Company’s
financial position as the disallowances are not tenable and the Company is contesting the matter before the higher appellate authorities.
(ii) The Company is involved in two separate arbitration matters, both of which are currently under challenge before competent courts under the
provisions of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996.
(a) In one matter, an arbitral award granted claims aggregating to approximately ₹ 10.60 million against the Company. A conditional stay has
been granted upon deposit of ₹ 10.00 million, which has been duly complied with.
29(b) In another matter, an arbitral award dated August 30, 2024 granted claims aggregating to approximately ₹44.80 million, along with interest
at 15% per annum and costs. The award has been contested and the matter remains sub judice.
The Company has assessed, based upon legal advice, there was no evidence of liquidated damages produced and the basis of the claim was
unsubstantiated therefore management is of the view that it is not probable, that an outflow of economic resources will arise in absence of these
evidences u/s 34 of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996. Accordingly, these demands have been disclosed as contingent liabilities, and no
provision has been recognized in the restated financial statements.
(iii) The Government of India has enacted the Code on Wages, 2019, the Industrial Relations Code, 2020, the Code on Social Security, 2020, and
the Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions Code, 2020 (collectively referred to as the “Labour Codes”). Subsequent to period ended
September 30, 2024, these Labour Codes have become effective from November 21, 2025, however detail rules yet to come and notify to completely
operationalise the various provisions of the Labour Codes.
Pending full implementation, it is difficult to assess the potential impact on the areas such as employee benefits, including gratuity, provident fund
contributions, leave encashment, and other social security obligations which are affected due to implementation of the above said labour code.
The Company will continue to monitor subsequent notifications and evaluate the impact in the period in which the relevant provisions are applied.

Information” beginning on page 260.

35Internal Risk Factors
1. Any downturn in the corporate travel market, the travel industry in general or a reduced demand for hotel
accommodation may have an adverse impact on our business, cash flows, financial condition and results
of operations.
Our business depends on corporate travel, the travel industry in general and a sustained demand for hotel
accommodation. The travel industry is highly sensitive to the general economic condition and trends
including actual or perceived safety concerns, the availability and cost of finance, interest and exchange
rates, fuel prices, unemployment levels and the cost of travel. (Source: 1Lattice Report) Our revenues in the
future may be significantly impacted by declines in or disruptions to, corporate travel and travel industry,
including as a result of macroeconomic factors and widespread health concerns, epidemics or pandemics.
Factors over which we may have no control but which impact corporate and other travel patterns and,
depending on the scope and duration, may cause significant decline in corporate and other travel volumes
and reductions in our enterprise clients’ budgets, thereby adversely affecting our business, include among
other things:
• the impact of macroeconomic uncertainty, including due to tariffs, volatile interest rates, inflation,
domestic and foreign currency fluctuation, instability in the banking system, volatility in stock
markets, and the potential for a prolonged economic recession;
• the continued proliferation of remote and hybrid work models has enabled many companies to
replace in-person meetings and events with virtual alternatives, resulting in some companies
reducing discretionary travel;
• global or regional political unrest or instability, which may disrupt travel patterns;
• security concerns caused by terrorist attacks, the threat of terrorist attacks, or the precautions taken
in anticipation of such attacks, including elevated threat warnings or selective cancellation or
redirection of travel;
• pandemics;
• the occurrence of travel-related accidents or the grounding of aircrafts due to safety concerns or
regulatory action;
• changes in attitudes towards the environmental impact of carbon emissions caused by travel;
• changes in the laws and regulations governing or otherwise affecting the travel and tourism industry;
• natural disasters;
as well as other factors that increase the cost of travel, hotel accommodation and travel-related services or
that adversely affect travelers (including corporate travelers), hotel occupancy rates or domestic or regional
travel patterns or volumes. The overall impact on the travel industry of such factors can also be influenced
by travelers’ perception of, and reaction to, the scope, severity and timing of such factors. Any such
disruption may impact our business, cash flows, financial condition or results of operations.
The corporate travel industry is highly sensitive to business discretionary spends, and it tends to decline with
general economic downturns. (Source: 1Lattice Report) Companies periodically reassess and adjust their
travel policies and associated budgets, including due to the factors mentioned above and broader factors
impacting the travel industry generally. Shifts in corporate travel trends or a decline in corporate travel could
result in reductions in usage of our offerings by our clients, which could adversely impact our business, cash
flows, financial condition or results of operations. For instance, the India-Pakistan war in May 2025 disrupted
overall travel, including corporate travel, especially in north India. While this event did not have an adverse
effect on our business, cash flows, financial condition or results of operations in the six months ended
September 30, 2025, it illustrates the susceptibility of corporate travel to such disruptions. Further, while we
have not experienced any of the aforementioned instances which have had an adverse impact on our business,
cash flows, financial condition or results of operations in Fiscals 2025, 2024 and 2023, we cannot assure you
that such instances may not occur in the future.
2. Our TravelPlus platform’s performance and reliability are critical to our reputation and operations. Any
technical failure or prolonged downtime could result in client dissatisfaction, churn, and loss of revenues,
and have an adverse impact on our business, cash flows, financial condition and results of operations.
We believe that our ability to provide a comprehensive corporate travel management platform is subject to
a number of factors, including our ability to maintain a relevant managed marketplace for our clients, to
continue to innovate and introduce services, launch new services that have a high degree of user engagement
36and the user-friendliness of our platform interface. If we fail to provide a comprehensive corporate travel
management platform that meets the requirements of our clients, the utilisation of our platform could decline,
which in turn could impact our business, cash flows, financial condition and results of operations.
Further, our ability to retain clients and effectively service their requirements depends on the performance
of our corporate travel management platform. Providing corporate travel management services through
TravelPlus is at the core of our business and consequently our business depends on the efficient and
uninterrupted operation of our platform. Interruptions in our platform, whether due to system failures,
computer viruses, ransomware, physical or electronic break-ins could affect the security or availability of
our platform, or prevent or inhibit the ability of our clients to access our platform. The software underlying
our platform is highly complex and may contain undetected errors or vulnerabilities, some of which may
only be discovered after the code has been released. Such vulnerabilities could also be exploited by malicious
actors and result in exposure of data of users on our platform, or otherwise result in a security breach. We
may need to expend significant financial and operational resources to analyse, correct, eliminate, or work
around errors or defects or to address and eliminate vulnerabilities. Any failure to timely and effectively
resolve any such errors, defects, or vulnerabilities could adversely affect our business, cash flows, financial
condition and results of operations. While, we have not faced any such instance in the six months ended
September 30, 2025 and Fiscals 2025, 2024 and 2023, which have had an adverse impact on our business,
cash flows, financial condition and results of operations, we cannot assure you that such instances may not
occur in the future.
Our platform is accessed by many clients, often at the same time. Unexpected increases in the volume of our
business could exceed system capacity, resulting in service interruptions, outages and delays that may make
some or all of our services unavailable. Such constraints can also lead to the deterioration in the quality of
our services or impair our ability to process transactions. System interruptions could impair our ability to
process transactions and may prevent us from efficiently providing services to our clients, which could cause
damage to our reputation and adversely affect our business, cash flows, financial condition and results of
operations. Any interruptions or delays in access to our platform, including due to third-party provider
failures or incidents, could impede our ability to grow our business and scale our operations. While, we have
not faced any such instance in the six months ended September 30, 2025 and Fiscals 2025, 2024 and 2023,
which have had an adverse impact on our business, cash flows, financial condition and results of operations,
we cannot assure you that such instances may not occur in the future.
3. The success of our business is dependent on our ability to retain existing enterprise clients and attract
new enterprise clients. If we are unable to retain existing enterprise clients and attract new enterprise
clients, our business, cash flows, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected.
Our future growth depends in large part on increasing our enterprise client base and maintaining and
increasing the revenue we generate from those clients. To increase our revenue, we seek to expand our
clients’ usage of our offerings by driving their adoption and increased use of features on the TravelPlus
platform. The success of our business is substantially dependent on the actual and perceived viability,
benefits, and advantages of our TravelPlus platform as a preferred service provider for corporate travel
management. Our business is dependent on client satisfaction and any diminution in client satisfaction may
result in clients terminating their services with us which may have an adverse impact on our business, cash
flows, financial condition and results of operations. While no clients have terminated their contracts with us
due to being dissatisfied with our services in the six months ended September 30, 2025 and Fiscals 2025,
2024 and 2023, we cannot assure you that any client may not terminate their contracts with us due to being
dissatisfied with our services or for any other reason, which may adversely affect our business, cash flows,
financial condition and results of operations. We have experienced growth in the number of our clients in
recent periods with the number of active enterprise clients using our TravelPlus platform increasing from
314 in Fiscal 2023 to 379 in Fiscal 2024 to 418 in Fiscal 2025 to 474 in six months ended September 30,
2025. However, we cannot assure you that we will continue to achieve similar growth rates in the future.
Numerous factors may impede our ability to attract new enterprise clients and retain existing enterprise
clients including macroeconomic uncertainty, rising interest rates, inflation, instability in the banking system
and the potential for a prolonged economic recession, changes in the demand for and trends in corporate
travel among existing and potential enterprise clients, reductions in travel budgets, failure to establish,
maintain or expand relationships with key hotel suppliers and other partners, failure to compete effectively
against alternative service, including traditional offline travel services providers, our ability to determine
37optimal pricing for our offerings, failure to successfully deploy new features, failure to provide quality
customer experience and customer support, or failure of our sales and marketing strategies.
If we are unsuccessful in our efforts to acquire new clients and increase our client base, or if we do so in a
way that is not profitable, our business, cash flows, financial condition and results of operations may be
adversely affected.
4. If we do not continue to innovate and develop our TravelPlus platform, or our platform developments do
not perform or keep pace with technological developments, we may not remain competitive and our
business and results of operations could suffer. Further, any inability to successfully launch new features
could result in loss of clients, operating revenues and our reputation could suffer.
Our success depends in part on our ability to continue to innovate and further develop our TravelPlus
platform. To remain competitive, we must continuously enhance and improve the functionality and features
of our platform, including the suite of services and functions offered on our platform. If we fail to expand
the suite of services on our platform or if we fail to continuously enhance and improve our existing services,
our ability to retain existing clients or attract clients could be adversely affected. If potential competitors
introduce new offerings embodying new technologies, or if new industry standards and practices emerge,
our existing technology, services and platform may become obsolete. We may also face increased
competition from new entrants and existing players that are continuously developing new services. Our
success could depend on our ability to respond to technological advances and emerging industry standards
and practices in a cost-effective and timely manner. The table below sets out details of our expenses incurred
on technology in the periods indicated:
Particulars Six months ended Fiscal 2025 Fiscal 2024 Fiscal 2023

*Expenses incurred on technology includes website development and related maintenance, communication costs and payment
processing charges as per the Restated Financial Information.
Developing and launching enhancements to our platform and new services on our platform may involve
significant technical risks and upfront capital investments in research and development to enhance our
technology and improve our existing service, and there may not be any returns on such investments. The
success of any new service, feature or version depends on several factors including timely completion and
delivery, pricing, adequate quality testing and market acceptance. If we face material delays in introducing
new or enhanced platform features and services tailored to accommodate our clients’ evolving requirements
at a competitive pace, or our recently introduced offerings do not perform in accordance with the expectation
of clients, we could face loss of clients, revenues and our reputation could suffer. We may also face cost
overruns in development of new services on our platform. While, we have not faced any such instance in the
six months ended September 30, 2025 and Fiscals 2025, 2024 and 2023, which have had an adverse impact
on our business, cash flows, financial condition and results of operations, we cannot assure you that such
instances may not occur in the future.
The travel industry is characterized by rapid technological evolution, changes in client requirements and
preferences, frequent introduction of new services and products embodying new technologies, and the
emergence of new industry standards and practices, any of which could render our existing technologies and
systems obsolete. (Source: 1Lattice Report) Our success will depend, in part, on our ability to identify and
develop technology useful in our business, and respond to technological advances and emerging industry
standards and practices in a cost-effective and timely way. Further, the success of our new and
complementary services will depend on several factors, including proper identification of market demand.
38We cannot assure you that we will successfully identify new and complementary service opportunities,
develop and introduce new services in a timely manner, price such new and complementary services at
optimal levels, modify and upgrade existing services, achieve market acceptance of our services. Also,
technological innovation often results in unintended consequences such as bugs, vulnerabilities and other
system failures. Any such bug, vulnerability or failure, especially in connection with a significant technical
implementation or change, could result in lost business, harm to our brands or reputation, complaints by
clients, and other adverse consequences, any of which could adversely affect our business, results of
operations and financial condition. While, we have not faced any such instance in the six months ended
September 30, 2025 and Fiscals 2025, 2024 and 2023, which have had an adverse impact on our business,
cash flows, financial condition and results of operations, we cannot assure you that such instances may not
occur in the future.
5. We may not be successful in our efforts to retain or increase revenue from our enterprise clients including
by promoting and expanding adoption and usage of our offerings through the TravelPlus platform, which
could adversely impact our business, cash flows, financial condition and results of operations.
We onboard clients on to the TravelPlus platform and subsequently increase engagement with clients through
the adoption of increased features and offerings that the platform has to offer. If we are unable to scale the
offerings which our clients adopt at the rate we anticipate or at all, our business, cash flows, financial
condition and results of operations may be adversely impacted. The success of the features on our platform
depends upon our ability to increase the utilisation of the features which the platform has to offer. We may
experience more difficulty in adoption and expansion rates of our offerings by smaller clients. In addition,
there is a period of time between which we acquire new clients and when we begin to realize the bulk of our
revenues, during which the client implements our technology, moves corporate travel budgets on to our
platform and launches initial bookings. To scale the usage of our offerings, we will need to successfully help
clients realize the increased value in our offerings in an efficient manner. Further, certain clients may choose
to manage some functions internally, or may not be willing to pay the premium we charge for our services,
which could limit our scalability and revenue of operations. If we do not effectively help clients realize the
value of managing more of their corporate travel spends on our platform, our business, cash flows, financial
condition and results of operations may be adversely affected.
6. The travel industry in India is intensely competitive, and we may not be able to effectively compete in the
future which could adversely affect our business, cash flows, results of operations and financial condition.
Our offerings address a highly competitive market with incumbent industry participants, ranging from
traditional travel management companies and agents to consumer-focused online travel platforms. Some of
our competitors may have access to more financial resources, greater name recognition and better-established
client bases in their target segments, differentiated business models, technology or other capabilities or a
different geographic coverage, which may make it difficult for us to retain or attract new clients.
Industry participants such as traditional travel management companies and agents or consumer-focused
online travel platforms may continue to benefit from their brand strength, client relationships and market
influence, particularly if certain enterprise clients continue to favour traditional offline travel management
services. Our inability to onboard such enterprise clients who prefer the services of traditional offline travel
management services may adversely affect our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial
conditions. Further, it is possible that larger consumer-focused travel platforms with substantial resources
may decide to pursue corporate travel management solutions and become immediate significant competitors.
Such consumer-focused travel platforms have invested significantly in building robust, scalable and user-
friendly technology platforms that offer advanced booking engines, dynamic pricing algorithms and seamless
user experiences. Given their technological capabilities, brand recognition and financial resources, such
consumer-focused travel platforms may seek to diversify into the corporate travel management segment
either directly or through strategic partnerships or acquisitions. Additionally, the entry of global corporate
travel management companies in India could also alter the competitive landscape of the industry in the future.
If such larger companies were to enter the space in which we operate, and if we were unable to effectively
compete, our business, cash flows, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected.
In our private-label hotels business we face high levels of competition from traditional hotel companies,
short-term vacation rental companies and other online travel agencies in attracting, engaging and retaining
customers. Customers have a range of options to find and book hotel rooms. We believe that a considerable
number of customers in India, especially in tier-2 and tier-3 cities, will utilize and continue to utilize the
services of traditional travel agents or on-the-spot hotel bookings. We compete for customers based on many
39factors, including quality of accommodation, price competitiveness of our offerings and our brand. Many of
our competitors enjoy competitive advantages over us, such as a greater name and brand recognition, longer
operating histories, larger marketing budgets and more attractive loyalty programs, as well as greater
financial, technical and other resources. As a result our competitors may be able to provide customers with
a better experience and respond more quickly and effectively than we can to new and changing opportunities.
We cannot assure you that we will be able to compete effectively against any current, emerging and future
competitors or provide sufficiently differentiated services to our clients. Increasing competition from current
or emerging competitors, consolidation of current or emerging competitors, the introduction of new
technologies, the continued expansion of existing technologies may force us to make changes to our business
model, which could adversely affect our business cash flows, financial condition and results of operations.
7. We have incurred net losses in the last three Fiscals and cannot assure you that we will sustain our
profitability and not continue to incur losses going forward. Any loss in future periods could adversely
affect our business, cash flows, financial condition, results of operations and the trading price of our
Equity Shares.
Set forth below are our restated profit/losses for the periods indicated:
Particulars Six months ended Fiscal 2025 Fiscal 2024 Fiscal 2023
September 30,
2025
Restated profit/ 321.63 (62.71) (1,140.74) (927.53)
(loss) for the period/
year (₹ million)
For further information, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results
of Operations” on page 328. Our net losses in Fiscals 2025, 2024 and 2023, were on account of high operating
expenses, including cost of accommodation and packages and employee related expenses such as salaries,
bonuses, allowances and benefits, as well as upfront investment in enterprise sales and platform technology
development.
There can be no assurance that we will remain profitable in future financial periods. Any failure to increase
our revenue sufficiently to keep pace with our investments and expenses could prevent us from increasing
profitability or generating positive cash flows on a consistent basis. If we are unable to successfully address
these risks and challenges as we encounter them, our business, cash flows, financial condition or results of
operations could be adversely affected along with an impact on the trading price of our Equity Shares.
8. Dependence on third-party service providers by us and our suppliers involves risks, including security
incidents, service disruptions and operational failures that could compromise confidential information,
disrupt critical business operations, and damage our reputation. Interruptions or delays om these services
may impair the delivery of our platform and consequently have an adverse impact on our business, cash
flows, financial condition and results of operations.
We currently rely on a variety of third-party service providers for certain operational services relating to our
business including cloud infrastructure service, customer relationship management, hotel channel
management software, billing management for cloud infrastructure, web scraping API services, product
management and productivity software for task tracking, flights API feed providers, cyber security
consulting and bus API feed providers. Our ability to monitor these third party service providers’ security
practices is limited, creating significant exposure to potential security events, disruptions, or outages outside
our direct control. These third parties may inappropriately access confidential and personal information or
may lack adequate security measures, potentially leading to security incidents that compromise the
confidentiality, integrity, or availability of systems they operate for us or the information they process on our
behalf.
In addition, if such third-party service providers were to cease operations, temporarily or permanently, face
financial distress or other business disruption or increase their fees, or if our relationships with these
providers were to deteriorate, we could suffer increased costs and delays in our ability to provide our services
to clients until an equivalent provider could be found or until we develop replacement technology or
operations. Some of such third-party service providers may also be subject to governmental regulations and
any failure by such third- party service providers to comply with applicable legal requirements could cause
40us financial or reputational harm. Certain agreements with these providers include termination clauses that
allow them to suspend or terminate services at their discretion with minimal notice, which could increase
operational risks. If the third parties on which we depend are unable to continue to provide their services,
experience difficulty meeting our requirements or standards or face disruptions in their technology
infrastructure, or revoke or fail to renew our service contracts or license agreements with them, we could
have difficulty operating key aspects of our business, which could damage our business and reputation. If
any of the foregoing occurs or if we are unsuccessful in choosing or finding high-quality service providers,
fail to negotiate cost-effective relationships with such service providers or ineffectively manage these
relationships, it could adversely affect our business. While such incidents have not happened in the six
months ended September 30, 2025 and Fiscals 2025, 2024 and 2023 which have had an adverse impact on
our business, cash flows, financial condition and results of operations, we cannot assure you that such
instances may not occur in the future.
We host our platform using third party cloud infrastructure services. We therefore depend on our third-party
cloud providers’ ability to protect their data centers against damage or interruption from natural disasters,
power or telecommunications failures, criminal acts, and similar events. Our operations depend on protecting
the cloud infrastructure hosted by such providers by maintaining their respective configuration, architecture,
and interconnection specifications, as well as the information stored in these virtual data centers and
transmitted by third-party internet service providers. If our relationships with third party cloud providers
were to deteriorate, we could suffer increased costs and delays in our ability to provide our services to clients
until an equivalent provider could be found. While we have not experienced any service disruptions in the
six months ended September 30, 2025 and Fiscals 2025, 2024 and 2023 which have had an adverse impact
on our business, cash flows, financial condition and results of operations, we cannot assure you that such
instances will not occur in the future.
9. We have a limited history operating our business at its current scale, scope and complexity in an evolving
market and economic environment, which makes it difficult to evaluate our current business, plans for
future operations and strategic initiatives, predict future results, and evaluate our future prospects,
increasing the risk associated with your investment.
We were incorporated in 2014, and built TravelPlus in 2020. Further, the number of active enterprise clients
using our TravelPlus platform increased from 314 in Fiscal 2023 to 379 in Fiscal 2024 to 418 in Fiscal 2025
to 474 in six months ended September 30, 2025. Our revenue from operations for the six months ended
September 30, 2025 and Fiscals 2025, 2024 and 2023 was ₹ 4,003.72 million, ₹ 7,163.48 million, ₹ 5,477.69
million, and ₹ 4,112.73 million, respectively, and our restated profit/ (loss) for these periods was ₹ 321.63
million, ₹ (62.71) million, ₹ (1,140.74) million and ₹ (927.53) million, respectively. We have limited
experience in, and data and results from, operating our business at its current scale, scope, and complexity
and in a rapidly evolving market for corporate travel. We also have limited data from, and experience
operating our business under current macroeconomic conditions, and cannot fully predict how clients and
suppliers will operate in this environment. We have encountered, and expect to continue to encounter risks
and uncertainties frequently experienced by growing companies in rapidly changing industries, such as the
risks and uncertainties described herein. As a result, our ability to plan for future operations and strategic
initiatives, predict future results of operations, and plan for and model future growth in revenue and expenses
and prospects is subject to significant risk and uncertainty as compared to companies with longer and more
consistent operating histories and in more stable macroeconomic environments.
10. If we fail to develop our brands and maintain our reputation in a cost-efficient manner, or fail to achieve
and maintain market acceptance for our platform, our business and results of operations could suffer.
We believe that the brand identity that we have developed has significantly contributed to the success of our
business. Maintaining and enhancing our TravelPlus, FabHotels and Via brands depends in part on our
ability to grow our client base. The successful promotion of our brands will depend on our ability to maintain
a sizeable and active client base, and provide high quality services, user support, address client needs, handle
client complaints and organize effective marketing and advertising programs. It also depends on our ability
to ensure that our platform remains high-quality, reliable and useful.
The table below sets forth details regarding our business promotion and advertisement expenses for the
periods indicated:
Particulars Six months ended Fiscal 2025 Fiscal 2024 Fiscal 2023

Substantial advertising expenditures may be required to maintain and enhance our brands, which may not
prove successful. Advertising and other brand promotion activities may not generate client awareness or
increase revenue, and even if they do, any increase in revenue may not offset the expenses we incur in
building our brands. In addition, our current and future marketing campaigns and client awareness efforts
may take a long time to show results.
Additionally, our brands could be damaged by incidents involving our hotel suppliers, particularly if the
incidents receive considerable negative publicity or result in litigation, some of which may occur in the
ordinary course of our businesses or the business of our hotel suppliers and other partners. In addition, our
failure to provide timely and sufficient support services to our users and clients in connection with travel
delays and incidents could harm our brands and reputation. Such incidents may arise from events that are or
may be beyond our or our hotel suppliers’ control. In recent years, there has been a marked increase in the
use of social media platforms, including blogs, social media websites and applications, and other forms of
internet-based communications which allow individuals access to a broad audience of clients and other
interested persons. Many social media platforms immediately publish the content that their subscribers and
participants post, often without filters or checks on accuracy of the content posted. The damage from such
content may be immediate without affording us the opportunity for redress or correction. If we fail to correct
or mitigate misinformation or negative information about us or our platform, our reputation could be harmed
which may lead to fewer enterprise clients using our platform and our business, results of operations and
financial condition may be adversely affected as a result. While we have not experienced any instances of
negative publicity in the six months ended September 30, 2025 and Fiscals 2025, 2024 and 2023, which have
had an adverse effect on our business, cash flows, financial condition and results of operations we cannot
assure you that such instances may not occur in the future.
11. We have had negative cash flows from operating activities in the past and may, in the future experience
similar negative cash flows which may have an impact on our liquidity and financial condition.
We have incurred negative cash flows from operating activities in the past. The following table sets forth
certain information relating to our cash flows in the periods indicated:
Particulars Fiscal/ Period

September 30,
2025
(₹ million)
Net cash flow (used in) operating activities (112.97) (184.19) (550.89) (94.69)
Our negative cash flows from operating activities in the six months ended September 30, 2025 and Fiscals
2025, 2024 and 2023 were on account of operating losses in Fiscal 2023, Fiscal 2024, Fiscal 2025 and in the
six months ended September 30, 2025, and an increase in working capital requirements led by a growth in
the number of active enterprise clients on the TravelPlus platform. For further information, see
“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Cash Flows”
on page 350. We will need to generate and sustain increased revenue levels in the future in order to achieve
42positive cash flows from operating activities. For further information on the losses incurred, see “— We have
incurred net losses in the last three Fiscals and cannot assure you that we will sustain our profitability and
not continue to incur losses going forward. Any loss in future periods could adversely affect our business,
cash flows, financial condition, results of operations and the trading price of our Equity Shares” on page 40.
12. We had negative net worth of ₹ 5,728.08 million and ₹ 4,684.01 million as of March 31, 2024 and as of
March 31, 2023, respectively. If we have negative net worth in the future or are unable to generate
sufficient cash flows to meet our obligations, our business, financial condition, and results of operations
could be adversely affected.
We have had negative net worth in the past. The following table sets forth certain information relating to our
net worth as of the dates indicated:
Particulars As of
September 30, March 31, March 31, March 31,
2025 2025 2024 2023
(₹ million)
Net worth 1,728.87 1,307.36 (5,728.08) (4,684.01)
If we experience negative net worth in the future, our ability to raise additional capital, whether through debt
or equity may be constrained, lenders and financial institutions may perceive us as a high-risk borrower
which could result in unfavourable terms or denial of credit facilities, and investor confidence may be
impacted which may impact the valuation of our Equity Shares. While we have had positive net worth as of
March 31, 2025 and as of September 30, 2025, we cannot assure you that we will continue to have positive
net worth.
13. Our trade receivables were ₹ 824.69 million, ₹ 712.88 million, ₹ 579.52 million and ₹ 328.83 million in
the six months ended September 30, 2025 and in Fiscal 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Delays in
receiving payment of outstanding dues from third parties may affect our financial condition and results
of operations.
We are exposed to counterparty credit risk of our enterprise clients and any significant delay in receiving
payments or non-receipt of payments could have an adverse effect on our results of operations, financial
condition and cash flows. The table below sets forth certain details of our trade receivables and trade
receivable days and trade receivable turnover ratio for the years/periods indicated:

For further information on the ageing of trade receivables, see “Restated Financial Information – Note 10 –
Trade Receivables” on page 285.
A client’s ability to make payments on a timely basis depends on various factors such as general economic
and market conditions and the client’s cash flow position, which are out of our control. Macroeconomic
conditions, such as a credit crisis in the global financial system or global economic uncertainty, or a
pandemic, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, could lead to deterioration in our clients’ financial condition
and results of operations, which could limit their access to the credit markets, thereby increasing their risk
of insolvency or bankruptcy. Such conditions could cause our clients to delay payments, request
modifications of their payment terms, or default on their payment obligations to us, all of which could
increase our receivables and may adversely affect our cash flow position and our ability to meet our working
43capital requirements. In the six months ended September 30, 2025 and the Fiscals 2025, 2024 and 2023, we
created provisions of ₹ 1.79 million, ₹ 2.30 million, ₹ 15.09 million and ₹ 7.20 million of receivables from
clients, respectively. The amounts for which provisions were created were thereafter written-off in the
subsequent periods, therefore, in the six months ended September 30, 2025 and in Fiscals 2025, 2024, we
wrote-off ₹ 2.30 million, ₹ 15.09 million, ₹ 203.59 million (of which ₹ 7.20 million pertained to write-offs
for Fiscal 2023, and the remaining ₹ 196.39 million pertained to write-offs from the previous fiscal years),
respectively There is no assurance that our clients will pay us on a timely basis or at all, which may adversely
affect the recoverability of our trade receivables, or that we will be able to efficiently manage the level of
bad debt arising from delayed payments. There is also no assurance that we will be able to accurately assess
the creditworthiness of our clients. Our working capital requirements may further increase if the holding
level of trade receivables is further increased. We cannot assure you that we will continue to be successful
in arranging adequate working capital for our existing or expanded operations on acceptable terms or at all,
which may materially and adversely affect our business, cash flows and financial condition.
Bringing action against our clients to enforce their contractual obligations is often difficult and there can be
no assurance that if we initiate any legal proceedings against any such entities, we will receive a judgment
in our favor or on a timely basis. A failure by any of our clients to meet its contractual commitments, or an
insolvency or liquidation of any of our clients, could have an adverse effect on our financial condition and
results of operations.
14. Any deterioration in the quality of our client experience may adversely affect our reputation, business,
cash flows, financial condition and results of operations. Further, our private labels hotels business
operates in a fragmented and largely unbranded economy hotel segment. Inability to meet quality
standards may adversely impact our reputation, business, cash flows, financial condition and results of
operations.
Our business depends on our ability to effectively supply in a highly fragmented market and deliver a hassle-
free and convenient travel experience. The quality of client experience is critical for our TravelPlus services
and our private label hotels business. If our clients fail to perceive us as a trusted platform with a strong
reputation and reliable content, or if an event occurs that damages our reputation, it could adversely affect
the reputation of our platform and may have an adverse effect on our business, cash flows, financial condition
and results of operations. In addition, faults or deficiencies in service by hotel suppliers may result in negative
client experiences, which are not entirely within our control and could further impact client perception of
our business.
Further, our private label hotels business operates in a fragmented and largely unbranded economy hotel
segment, which makes it challenging to maintain consistent quality standards across properties. For further
information, see “— The travel industry in India is intensely competitive, and we may not be able to
effectively compete in the future which could adversely affect our business, cash flows, results of operations
and financial condition” on page 39. Any inability to meet these standards could have an adverse impact on
our business. Complaints or negative publicity about our business practices, quality of hotels forming part
of the managed marketplace, marketing and advertising campaigns, content quality, compliance with
applicable laws and regulations, data privacy and security or other aspects of our business, could diminish
consumer confidence in our platform and adversely affect our brands, irrespective of the validity of such
claims. For further information on our reputation, see “— If we fail to develop our brands and maintain our
reputation in a cost-efficient manner, or fail to achieve and maintain market acceptance for our platform,
our business and results of operations could suffer” on page 41. While we have not had any instances of
complaints by guests or clients in the six months ended September 30, 2025 and Fiscals 2025, 2024 and
2023, which have had an adverse impact on our reputation, business, cash flows, financial condition and
results of operations, we cannot assure you that such instances may not occur in the future. The growing use
of social media increases the speed with which information and opinions can be shared and thus the speed
with which our reputation can be damaged. If we fail to correct or mitigate misinformation or negative
information about us, our platform, travel supply inventory, client experience, brands or any aspect of our
business, our business, results of operations and financial condition may be adversely affected.
15. Our business is subject to seasonality which could cause our operating results to fluctuate.
Our business has historically been influenced by seasonality, primarily related to seasonal travel trends of
corporate travelers. As per the 1Lattice Report, the Indian hospitality and travel sector typically exhibits
distinct seasonality, with the second half of the fiscal year (i.e., October to March) generally outperforming
44the first half (i.e., April to September). Consequently, our revenues, cash flows and results of operations may
fluctuate over different periods. For instance, the demand for corporate travel typically softens in March as
enterprise clients exhaust annual travel budgets before the fiscal year-end, and during major festival periods
such as Diwali due to holiday leaves. Our private label hotels business experiences a higher degree of
seasonality with demand peaking in the winter months (typically November to February) due to the peak
travel season. In addition, demand for travel generally fluctuates based on a number of factors, including
periods of perceived or actual adverse economic conditions and times of political or economic uncertainty.
Upon listing of the Equity Shares, our Company will be required to publish its financial results for each
quarter of the Fiscal, in accordance with the SEBI Listing Regulations. Our quarterly financial results may
fluctuate as a result of a variety of factors, many of which are outside of our control and, as a result, may not
fully reflect the underlying performance of our business. On account of the factors mentioned above, our
quarter-on-quarter financial results may not be comparable or a meaningful indicator of our future
performance. Other factors that may affect our quarterly financial results also include, our ability to attract
new clients; the amount and timing of operating expenses related to the maintenance and expansion of our
business, operations and infrastructure; general economic, political, weather, industry and market conditions;
changes in our pricing policies; the timing and success of new services and service introductions by us or
any other change in the competitive dynamics of the Indian corporate travel industry. More pronounced
seasonal variations could have a disproportionate impact on our operating results, and could strain our
resources and impair our cash flows.
16. Our ability to maintain and expand TravelPlus’ managed marketplace or the number of our private-label
hotels depends on successful onboarding and retention of hotel suppliers. Any slowdown in hotel supplier
acquisition or high attrition may impact supply availability and growth.
Adverse changes in any of our relationships with hotel suppliers, or the inability to enter into new
relationships with hotel suppliers, could reduce the amount of inventory we are able to offer and have an
adverse impact on our financial condition and results of operations. Maintaining a large number of hotel
suppliers on our platform depends on several factors, including maintaining and expanding relationships with
existing hotel suppliers and developing new business relationships with hotel suppliers. If we fail to expand
our base of hotel suppliers, our business and results of operations would be adversely affected.
Our arrangements with hotel suppliers are not typically subject to long-term commitments and may not
remain in effect on current or similar terms. A significant change in our relationships with our major hotel
suppliers for a sustained period of time, including a complete withdrawal of inventory, could have an adverse
effect on our business, financial condition, cash flows or results of operations. The hotel suppliers that we
work with could also potentially shut down or cease business operations due to factors beyond our control
which could in turn adversely impact our business.
In our private-label hotels business, if we fail to retain hotel suppliers including as a result of impaired
relationships or a decrease in popularity of our brands, the value of our brands could be diminished. If our
hotel suppliers were to cease operations, temporarily or permanently, or face financial distress or other
business disruptions, or if our relationships with our hotel suppliers deteriorate, we may not be able to provide
customers with a sufficient range of hotels for bookings.
17. The Indian tax regime in connection with Goods and Services Tax (“GST”) has undergone substantial
changes. Any adverse changes to the GST regime could have an adverse impact on our business, cash
flows, financial condition and results of operations.
The indirect tax regime in India has undergone a complete overhaul. The indirect taxes on goods and services,
such as central excise duty, service tax, central sales tax, state value added tax, surcharge and excise have
been replaced by GST with effect from July 1, 2017. The GST regime continues to be subject to amendments
and its interpretation by the relevant regulatory authorities is constantly evolving. A key element of the value
proposition of our corporate travel management solutions is the ability of our enterprise clients to obtain and
optimise input tax credit on travel and related spends through automated, GST-compliant invoicing and
reconciliation. Enterprises using traditional booking methods face approximately 10% credit leakage due to
improper invoicing, while platforms providing automated GST-compliant invoicing deliver immediate return
on investment through credit recovery- transforming travel management from a booking convenience into
an essential financial tool. (Source: 1Lattice Report)
45Recent GST notifications in September 2025 regarding the 5% tax bracket have created interpretative
uncertainty regarding input tax credit eligibility for hotel resellers. We have filed representations to clarify
our eligibility based on the established ‘same line of business’ principle applicable to analogous sectors like
tour operators. Pending such clarification, our ability to avail input tax credit remains subject to regulatory
interpretation, potentially impacting our margins.
We have certain GST-related matters pending before relevant authorities. These matters primarily relate to
scrutiny of returns filed by our Company. While we believe that we have valid grounds to defend these
matters, any adverse orders, arising from such proceedings may increase our tax costs.
Part of our services, business model and pricing, and our customers’ adoption and continued use are premised
in part on the existing GST framework, which currently permits eligible businesses to claim input tax credit.
Law and related rules, notifications and circulars are subject to change, as well as interpretation and
implementation by the Central and State Governments and tax authorities. Any changes in the GST regime
that restrict or eliminate the availability of input tax credit, alter the manner in which such credit can be
claimed or utilised, impose additional conditions or compliances that reduce or negate the perceived benefits
of automated GST-compliant invoicing, could reduce or negate the incremental financial benefit currently
derived by our customers from using our platform, which could have an impact on the pricing of our solutions
and consequently have an adverse impact on our business, cash flows, financial condition and results of
operations.
18. Our operations are dependent on our ability to attract and retain qualified personnel, including our Key
Managerial Personnel and Senior Management and any inability on our part to do so, could adversely
affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
Our performance depends largely on the efforts and abilities of our Key Managerial Personnel and Senior
Management. See “Our Management” on page 240. The inputs and experience of our Key Managerial
Personnel and Senior Management are valuable for the development of our business and operations and the
strategic directions taken by our Company. Our managerial and other employees are critical to maintaining
the quality and consistency of our services and reputation and the loss of the services of our personnel may
adversely affect our business and operations. While we believe that we currently have adequate qualified
personnel for our operations, we may not be able to continuously attract or retain such personnel, or retain
them on acceptable terms, given the demand for such personnel. For further information regarding changes
in Key Managerial Personnel and Senior Management during the last three Fiscals, see “Our Management –
Changes in the Key Managerial Personnel and Senior Management in the last three years” on page 255.
While there has been no instance in the six months ended September 30, 2025 and last three Fiscals where
the resignation of any Senior Management or Key Managerial Personnel had an adverse impact on our
business, results of operations, cash flows or financial conditions or cash flows, we cannot assure you that
any such instance will not arise in the future. Competition for qualified personnel with relevant industry
expertise in India is intense and the loss of the services of our Key Managerial Personnel and Senior
Management may adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
We may require a long period of time to hire and train replacement personnel when qualified personnel
terminate their employment with our Company. We may also be required to increase our levels of employee
compensation more rapidly than in the past to remain competitive in attracting employees that our business
requires.
The following table sets forth the attrition rate for our Key Managerial Personnel and members of Senior
Management of our Company for the years/periods indicated:

If we are unable to effectively manage our hiring needs or successfully integrate and retain new hires, our
efficiency, ability to meet forecasts and productivity levels could suffer, which could adversely affect our
business, cash flows, financial condition and results of operations.
19. We rely on artificial intelligence (“AI”) and machine learning (“ML”) to optimize operations. AI/ ML
technology and its advancement may require us to comply with additional regulations and subject us to
evolving risks.
We use AI and ML to coordinate with hotel suppliers, automate booking confirmations and communications,
monitor service quality indicators in real-time, and identify potential issues before they impact travelers. We
employ generative AI models to review and quality-check operational workflows, assess travel desk
performance, identify process improvement opportunities, and ensure consistency across client
implementations. Our sales processes incorporate AI-driven capabilities including pitch review and
optimization, lead scoring and prioritization based on historical patterns, proposal generation incorporating
client-specific context, and success prediction for enterprise opportunities. We use machine learning models
to analyze client usage patterns, identify clients at risk of reducing usage or encountering satisfaction issues,
predict opportunities for wallet share expansion based on booking behavior, and generate insights for
relationship managers to proactively address client needs. Our business relies on the integration and use of
AI and ML technologies to enhance user experiences, optimize operations, and deliver personalized
recommendations. While we focus on developing these technologies to leverage their advantages, we may
be subject to risks associated with use of these technologies. The algorithms and data models we utilize may
not always perform as intended, which could lead to inaccurate or biased outcomes that could negatively
impact user satisfaction and trust. Additionally, the rapid evolution of AI and ML technologies necessitates
continuous updates and improvements, which may require us to make substantial investment and expend
considerable resources. There is a likelihood of increased regulatory scrutiny as governments around the
world develop new laws and regulations pertaining to AI and ML. Any failure to comply with these evolving
47regulatory requirements could result in significant fines or restrictions on our use of these technologies being
imposed. Potential government regulation in the space of AI ethics may increase the responsibility to engage
in, and incur expenses on, research and development in this area, subjecting us to brand or reputational harm,
competitive harm or legal liability.
There are significant risks involved in adopting, developing, maintaining, and deploying these technologies,
and there can be no assurance that the usage of such technologies will enhance our offerings or services or
be beneficial to our business, including our efficiency or profitability. AI may be trained or reliant on
incomplete, inadequate, inaccurate, biased, or otherwise poor quality data or on data to which we or third
parties do not have sufficient rights; may produce results that are inaccurate or incomplete or may take
unintended actions from user queries and inputs, even with no hallucinations; and/or may be adversely
impacted by unforeseen defects, technical challenges, cybersecurity threats, third-party litigation or
regulatory action, or material performance issues. Development, maintenance and operation of AI
technologies require additional investment in the development of proprietary datasets, machine learning
models, and systems to train and operate models, and monitor and test for accuracy, bias, and other variables,
which are complex, costly, and could impact our profit margin. If we are unable to effectively manage these
risks, our reputation, business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations could be adversely
affected.
20. We may be exposed to risks relating to processing, storage, use and disclosure of data of our clients. The
materialisation of these risks may have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial
condition and cash flows.
As part of our operations, we are required to process client transactions, which involve receipt and storage
of a large volume of client information which is vulnerable to security threats. Our operations routinely
involve receiving, storing, processing and transmitting of sensitive information pertaining to our business,
clients and their employees. Security threats, such as security breaches, computer malware, viruses and other
‘cyber attacks’ which are increasing in both frequency and sophistication, could result in unauthorized
disclosures of information or create financial liability on us and may subject us to legal or regulatory
sanctions, besides damaging our reputation in the market. Further, such information is subject to legislation
and regulations in various jurisdictions and governments are increasingly acting to protect the privacy and
security of personal information that is collected, processed and transmitted, in or from, the relevant
jurisdiction. We could be adversely affected if legislation or regulations are expanded or amended to require
changes in our business practices or if governing jurisdictions interpret or implement their legislation or
regulations in ways that negatively affect our business. As privacy and data protection become more sensitive
issues in India, we may also become exposed to potential liabilities. For example, under the Information
Technology Act, 2000, as amended, we are subject to civil liability for wrongful loss or gain arising from
any negligence by us in implementing and maintaining reasonable security practices and procedures with
respect to sensitive personal data or information on our computer systems, networks, databases and software.
India has implemented privacy laws including the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (the “Data
Protection Act”). The Data Protection Act requires companies that collect and deal with high volumes of
personal data to fulfil certain additional obligations such as appointment of a data protection officer for
grievance redressal and a data auditor to evaluate compliance with the Data Protection Act. The Data
Protection Act further provides that personal data may be processed only in accordance with the Data
Protection Act, and for a lawful purpose after obtaining the consent of the individual or for certain legitimate
uses. We may incur increased costs and other burdens relating to compliance with such new requirements,
which may also require significant management time and other resources, and any failure to comply may
adversely affect our business, results of operations and prospects.
On November 13, 2025, the Central Government notified the Digital Personal Data Protection Rules, 2025,
which operationalise the Data Protection Act by prescribing detailed compliance requirements, including
mandatory notice-and-consent protocols, timelines and procedures for breach reporting to the DPB, consent-
verification standards for digital and automated interfaces, encryption and security safeguards proportionate
to the nature of processing, age-verification and parental-consent mechanisms for processing the data of
children, obligations relating to significant data fiduciaries, and specific protections for vulnerable data
principals. For further details, see “Key Regulations and Policies in India” on page 226.
Any security breach of our systems or third party systems upon which we are dependent could significantly
harm our business, brands, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations. It is possible that
sophisticated technical capabilities or other developments, including our own acts or omissions, could result
48in a breach of our security systems and compromise that of clients or other third party data that we store and
process. Our efforts to protect information from unauthorized access may be unsuccessful or may result in
the rejection of legitimate attempts to book reservations through our services, any of which could result in
lost business and materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash
flows and reputation. Even though we continuously seek to maintain a robust program of information security
and controls, our existing security measures may not be successful in preventing security breaches, and
parties may be able to circumvent our security systems and retrieve confidential/ proprietary data. While we
expend significant resources to mitigate the vulnerability of our systems to security breaches, there can be
no assurance that we will be successful in eliminating such risk altogether. Such breaches could result in a
loss of clients, financial or other data that could materially and adversely affect our ability to conduct our
business or fulfil our commercial obligations in a timely fashion or at all. Moreover, public perception
concerning security and privacy on the internet could adversely affect clients’ willingness to use our
platforms or mobile applications. While there have not been any instances in the six months ended September
30, 2025 and Fiscals 2025, 2024 and 2023, which have had an adverse impact on our business, financial
condition, results of operations and cash flows, we cannot assure you that such instances will not occur in
the future.
21. Any action by our hotel suppliers that are unlawful, fraudulent, violent or otherwise inappropriate may
undermine the safety or the perception of safety of our platform and our ability to attract and retain hotel
suppliers or clients and adversely affect our reputation, business, cash flows, results of operations and
financial condition.
We have no control over or ability to predict the actions of our hotel suppliers, during a client’s stay. If our
hotel suppliers, for TravelPlus or our private-label hotels engage in unlawful, fraudulent, violent or otherwise
inappropriate conduct our platform and the listings on our platform may be deemed to be unsafe and we may
receive negative media coverage or be subject to a government investigation, which could adversely impact
our brands and reputation and lower the adoption rate of our platform. The actions of hotel suppliers may
further result in fatalities, injuries, other bodily harm, fraud, invasion of privacy, property damage,
discrimination, brands and reputation damage, which could create potential legal or other substantial
liabilities for us. The occurrence of an accident in the course of travel in which an employee of our enterprise
client is involved may create potential liability for us. While there have not been any such instances in the
six months ended September 30, 2025 and Fiscals 2025, 2024 and 2023, which have had a material adverse
impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows, we cannot assure you that
such instances will not occur in the future.
In addition, we may not in the future be able to undertake to independently verify or re-verify the safety,
suitability, location and quality of all of our hotel suppliers, the descriptions of their hotels on our platform
and their compliance with our policies or standards and applicable laws and regulations. Where we have
undertaken to verify or screen certain aspects of our hotel suppliers qualifications or hotels, the scope of such
processes may be limited and rely on, among other things, information provided by such hotels and the ability
of our internal teams or third party vendors to adequately conduct such verification or screening practices.
In addition, we have not in the past taken and may not in the future take steps to re-verify or re-screen our
hotel suppliers’ qualifications or hotels following our initial review. We have created policies and standards
to respond to issues reported with hotels, but our customer support team may fail to take the requisite action
based on our policies or such actions may be ineffective to rectify the issue. In addition, hotels that provide
inaccurate information, are of a lower than expected quality, or that do not comply with our policies may
harm client and public perception of the quality and safety of hotels on our platform and adversely affect our
reputation, business, results of operations and financial condition.
22. If we fail to offer high-quality client support, our business, cash flows, financial condition and results of
operations may be adversely affected.
Our enterprise clients rely on our client support to resolve issues and realize the full benefits provided by our
TravelPlus platform. Further, our customers rely on customer support for issues arising out of booking our
private-label hotels. We have established escalation protocols and direct supplier relationships enabling fast
resolution of service issues. When problems occur, our operations team coordinates directly with hotels,
leverages existing relationships, and ensures that issues are resolved promptly to minimize impact on the
traveling employee and their business objectives. If our client support does not effectively and satisfactorily
address our clients’ needs and demands in using our platform to book and manage corporate travel and
expenses, our business, cash flows, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected.
4923. Our Company is involved in certain legal and regulatory proceedings. Any adverse decision in such
proceedings may have an adverse impact on our reputation, business, results of operations, financial
condition and cash flows.
There are outstanding legal and regulatory proceedings involving our Company which are pending at
different levels of adjudication before various courts, tribunals and other authorities. The amounts claimed
in these proceedings have been disclosed to the extent that such amounts are ascertainable and quantifiable
and include amounts claimed jointly and severally, as applicable. Any unfavourable decision in connection
with such proceedings, individually or in the aggregate, could adversely affect our reputation, continuity of
our management, business, results of operations, financial conditions and cash flows. The summary of such
outstanding material legal and regulatory proceedings as on the date of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus is

adverse effect on our reputation, prospects, business, results of operations, financial conditions and cash flows.
For further information, see “Outstanding Litigation and Other Material Developments” on page 356.
24. Our proprietary vetting and quality management frameworks for TravelPlus and our private label hotels
business may not be sufficient to ensure consistent service delivery. Any lapses could result in client
dissatisfaction and increased check-in denial rates. Inconsistent enforcement could lead to quality lapses
and client dissatisfaction.
We have supplier vetting protocols determining which properties meet enterprise quality standards, training
systems educating property staff on corporate invoicing and service requirements, quality management
frameworks monitoring and maintaining service standards, escalation procedures enabling rapid issue
resolution, and direct supplier relationships facilitating intervention when problems occur. These processes
are aimed towards defining service expectations across dimensions and increasing check-in efficiency.
However, any lapses in our procedures or failure of our hotel suppliers to effectively follow such procedures
may lead to client dissatisfaction or increased check-in denial rates. Employees or guests that face such
challenges may raise complaints, which could have an adverse effect on our business, cash flows, financial
condition and results of operations.
5025. Any failure to maintain quality of client service and deal with client complaints could have a material
adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
If we fail to provide quality services, our clients may be less inclined to use our corporate travel management
services or recommend us to new clients. Our business can also be adversely affected by client complaints
relating to the non-performance or sub- standard performance of our services, our operations, and quality of
services. Further, negative client feedback, complaints or claims against us, can result in diversion of
management attention and other resources, which may adversely affect our business, results of operations,
financial condition and cash flows.
26. TravelPlus faces various challenges and threats. If we are unable to resolve these challenges and threats
in timely manner or at all, our business, cash flows, financial condition and results of operations may be
adversely affected.
As per the 1Lattice Report, while the corporate travel sector is expanding, TravelPlus faces competitive
hurdles such as:
• Adoption barriers in traditional large companies. Some companies remain hesitant to shift from manual
processes to digital travel management solutions due to perceived cost implications, employee training
requirements, or concerns about integrating with legacy IT systems. This can prolong the sales cycle
and slow adoption in certain sectors, particularly in industries with entrenched operational routines.
• Sensitivity to economic downturns: The travel industry is highly sensitive to the general economic
condition and trends including actual or perceived safety concerns, the availability and cost of finance,
interest and exchange rates, fuel prices, unemployment levels and the cost of travel. The corporate travel
industry is also highly sensitive to business discretionary spends, and it tends to decline with general
economic downturns.
• Ability to cross-sell. Different organisations have varied travel requirements, and offering relevant add-
ons requires tailored solutions rather than a generic approach. This can limit opportunities and slows
overall revenue growth.
• Integration complexities. Corporates and institutions continue to rely on fragmented or legacy corporate
travel management systems. Integrating a modern platform with these ERP, HRMS, and finance
systems can be complex, often leading to longer implementation cycles and higher costs. Seamless
interoperability is essential to ensure smooth adoption and consistent user experience.
• Data privacy and compliance pressures. Corporate travel management platforms handle sensitive
information such as employee details, travel histories, payment records, and corporate billing data. If
not secured properly, this data can be vulnerable to cyberattacks or misuse, which can damage client
trust and lead to legal consequences.
• Rapid technological evolution and risk of obsolescence: The travel industry is characterized by rapid
technological evolution, changes in client requirements and preferences, frequent introduction of new
services and products embodying new technologies, and the emergence of new industry standards and
practices, any of which could render the existing technologies and systems obsolete.
• Market education and awareness gaps. While demand exists, many mid-market companies remain
unaware of comprehensive travel management solutions, requiring continued investment in market
development and customer education to accelerate adoption beyond early adopter segments.
If we are unable to resolve these challenges and threats in a timely manner or at all, our business, cash
flows, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected.
27. Our sales cycle for TravelPlus can be long and requires considerable time and effort, which may cause
our results of operations to fluctuate.
51A prospective enterprise clients’ decision to use our corporate travel management services may be an
enterprise wide decision and, if so, such sales would require us to provide additional details of our services
to the prospective client. Consequently, these clients may require us to devote greater sales, implementation
and client support resources to them, resulting in longer sales cycles. As we intend to acquire more enterprise
clients, we may be required to devote additional sales resources and may face higher costs, longer sales
cycles and less predictability in completing some of our sales, which may cause our results of operations to
fluctuate.
The table below sets forth details regarding our sales payroll expenses for the periods indicated:
Particulars Six months ended Fiscal 2025 Fiscal 2024 Fiscal 2023

28. Our private-label hotels business operational model depends on training and enablement of hotel
suppliers. Inadequate training or inconsistent execution may affect service delivery and brand consistency
which may have an adverse effect on our business, cash flows, financial condition and results of
operations.
Our private-label hotels business operational model relies on the effective training and enablement of hotel
suppliers to ensure consistent service delivery. We undertake training exercises with hotels that form the
supply for our private label hotels, in order to maintain consistency in service quality and consumer
experience. Inadequate training or inconsistent execution not in line with our training may result in
complaints from clients and impact the delivery of our service and consistency in our brands. Inconsistent
adherence to training protocols can lead to operational lapses such as delays in check-in and check/ our
processes and poor housekeeping standards. Further, ineffective training can hinder the ability of hotel
suppliers to adapt to evolving customer expectations and technological integrations. Our inability to
effectively deliver services and consistency in our brands may lead to negative reviews, erosion of brand
trust, reduced bookings for FabHotels and Via, which may have an adverse effect on our business, cash
flows, financial condition and results of operations.
29. Failure to effectively develop and expand our sales and marketing capabilities could harm our ability to
develop our enterprise client and private-label hotel customer base and achieve broader market
acceptance for TravelPlus and our private-label hotels.
Our ability to increase our enterprise clients and private-label hotel customer base, and to achieve broader
market acceptance for TravelPlus and our private-label hotels will depend to a significant extent on our
ability to deploy our sales and marketing resources effectively. Our growth and business strategies are
dependent on our ability to successfully execute our sales strategies at increasing scale. To sustain and
accelerate growth we must successfully recruit, train, and retain high performing sales and marketing
professionals who can execute sales strategies across the market in which we operate. If we are unable to
recruit, hire, develop, and retain high-performing sales or marketing personnel, or if our new sales or
marketing personnel are unable to achieve desired productivity levels in a reasonable period of time, our
ability to attract new clients and expand usage of and engagement with our offerings by existing clients,
could be adversely impacted. Our marketing efforts must continuously adapt to evolving consumer
preferences, digital trends, and competitive pressures. Ineffective campaigns, misallocation of marketing
budgets, or failure to leverage data-driven insights could lead to poor brand visibility, reduced engagement,
and diminished return on investment. Failure to scale our sales and marketing infrastructure could lead to
52slower client acquisition, and reduced permeation of our TravelPlus platform in our existing enterprise
clients.
30. We use open source software as part of our operations which could adversely affect our ability to offer
our services and subject us to possible litigation.
We use open source software as part of our operations. While open source software offers flexibility and
cost advantages, it also introduces significant legal, operational, and security risks that could adversely affect
our ability to deliver services and maintain competitive advantage. Open source software is software with
source code that anyone can inspect, modify, and enhance. From time-to-time, companies that use open
source software have faced claims challenging the use of open source software and/or compliance with open
source license terms. While we have not faced any such instances, we could be subject to suits by parties
claiming ownership of what we believe to be open source software, or claiming non-compliance with open
source licensing terms. In many cases, open-source projects are not maintained regularly making it
vulnerable to security threats. Unlike proprietary software, which often comes with dedicated support teams
and service-level agreements, open-source software typically lacks formal support structures. Any
requirement to disclose our proprietary source code or pay damages for breach of contract could be harmful
to our business, results of operations or financial condition, and could help our competitors develop travel
services that are similar to or better than ours. Furthermore, reliance on open source software may complicate
scalability and integration with emerging technologies, limiting our ability to innovate quickly. Any
requirement to replace or remediate open source software could result in significant development costs,
delays in product launches, and disruption of business operations.
31. We rely on third-party distributors for our private-label hotels business including OTAs and travel
management companies to market and distribute our private-label hotels, which may adversely affect our
margins and profitability.
We have strategic partnerships with a number of third-party distributors including OTAs and travel
management companies. Our margins and profitability may be affected by an increase in the proportion of
our private-label hotels booked through third-party distributors. In addition, if these third-party distributors
are able to negotiate higher commissions or reduced rates for our private-label hotels or other significant
concessions from us, our ability to control our percentage of revenue share from such offerings may be
adversely affected, which would in turn adversely affect our margins and profitability. We may also lose
access to certain distribution channels if such third party-distributors view us as a competitor and opt to
remove us from their platform. For instance, a third party distributor had delisted our private label hotels
from its portal in the year 2018. While, through an interim relief provided by the Competition Commission
of India, the properties of our private label hotels were re-listed on their portal, there is no assurance that
such third party distributors will continue to allow us to list our private label hotels on their portals. For
further details, see “Outstanding Litigation and Other Material Developments” on page 356.
32. We rely on mobile operating systems and application marketplaces to make our applications available to
participants that utilize our TravelPlus and private label hotels platforms, and if we do not effectively
operate with or receive favourable placements within such application marketplaces and maintain
favourable reviews, our usage or band recognition could decline and our business, cash flows, financial
condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.
We depend on mobile operating systems, such as Android and iOS, and their respective application
marketplaces to make our applications available to all participants that utilize our platform. Any changes in
such systems and policies of the app stores could adversely affect distribution, accessibility and availability
of our mobile applications. If such mobile operating systems or application marketplaces limit or prohibit us
from making our platforms available to participants that utilize our platform, make changes that degrade the
functionality of our applications, increase the cost of using our platform, mobile applications or website,
impose terms of use which may be unsatisfactory to us, or modify their search or ratings algorithms in ways
that are detrimental to us, or if our competitors’ placement in such mobile operating systems’ application
marketplace is more prominent than the placement of our applications, it could materially and adversely
affect our ability to engage with clients and customers who access our platform via mobile applications and
result in a decline in our growth. While none of the aforementioned instances have occurred in the six months
ended September 30, 2025 and the last three Fiscals, the occurrence of any of the foregoing risks could
adversely affect our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations.
5333. We have had in the past, instances of incorrect, delayed or inadequate filings with RoC, which may subject
us to regulatory scrutiny.
Since our incorporation and prior to conversion into a public company, our Company has, in the past, made
certain incorrect, delayed or inadequate filings with RoC due to clerical errors and inadvertent omissions.
For instance, for certain allotments of securities in Fiscal 2016 and 2017, form PAS- 4 and PAS-5 have not
been filed with the RoC. Additionally, some clerical discrepancies have occurred in certain other historic
filings, including in Forms PAS-4 and MGT-14. Some of our regulatory filings were delayed, for which we
have made delayed filings with payment of late fees, to the extent applicable. Based on the certificate dated
December 17, 2025 issued by DPV & Associates LLP, the errors and the delays in compliances or
discrepancies in records or filings identified herein do not affect the capital structure of the Company or the
ability of the Company to continue as a going concern or impose any criminal penalty on the Company.
Although no regulatory proceedings or actions have been initiated or are pending in relation to such non-
compliance, errors, omissions, and delays in the filing of these corporate records and documents as on date,
we cannot assure you that regulatory proceedings or actions will not be initiated against us in the future.
34. Our funding requirements and proposed deployment of Net Proceeds are not appraised by any
independent agency which may affect our business and results of operations.
We intend to use the Net Proceeds for the purposes described in “Objects of the Offer” on page 124 of this
Draft Red Herring Prospectus. Our funding requirements are based on management estimates and our current
business plans have not been appraised by any bank or financial institution. The deployment of the Net
Proceeds will be at the discretion of our Board. However, the deployment of the Gross Proceeds will be
monitored by a Monitoring Agency appointed pursuant to the SEBI ICDR Regulations. We may have to
reconsider our estimates or business plans due to changes in underlying factors, some of which are beyond
our control, such as interest rate fluctuations, changes in input cost and other financial and operational
factors. Various risks and uncertainties, including those set forth in this section, may limit or delay our efforts
to use the Net Proceeds to achieve profitable growth in our business. We may also use funds for future
businesses which may have risks significantly different from what we currently face or may expect. Further,
we may not be able to attract personnel with sufficient skills or sufficiently train our personnel to manage
our expansion plans.
Further, while our Company intends to utilise the Net Proceeds towards our objects of funding the working
capital requirements of our Company, repayment and/ or prepayment, in full or in part, of certain borrowings
availed by our Company and general corporate purposes, the exact amounts that will be utilised from the Net
Proceeds towards each of these objects will depend upon our current business plans, internal management
estimates, other commercial and technical factors internal management estimates, other commercial and
technical factors which are subject to change in the future. Furthermore, these may not result in the desired
growth (including in our user base) that we expect to achieve. Accordingly, prospective investors in the Offer
will need to rely upon our management’s judgment with respect to the use of proceeds. The Net Proceeds
will be deployed as per applicable law. However, subject to compliance with applicable law, if we are unable
to deploy the Net Proceeds in a timely or an efficient manner, it may affect our business and results of
operations.
35. We cannot assure you that we will be able to secure adequate financing to meet our working capital
requirements in the future on acceptable terms or in requisite time. Our business requires working capital.
Any failure in arranging adequate working capital for our operations may adversely affect our business,
results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.
We require working capital for our business. The table below sets forth details regarding our working capital
turnover ratio, working capital days, trade receivable days and trade payable days for the years/period
indicated:

(1) Working capital turnover ratio is calculated as average working capital divided by revenue from operations for the
relevant fiscal/period. The average working capital is calculated as the aggregate of opening and closing balance
of working capital divided by 2. Working capital is calculated as current assets less current liabilities.
(2) Working capital days for Fiscal 2025, 2024 and 2023 is calculated as 365 multiplied by average working capital
divided by revenue from operations for the relevant Fiscal. Working capital days for the six months ended September
30, 2025 is calculated as 182 multiplied by average working capital divided by revenue from operations for the
period.
(3) Trade receivable days for Fiscals 2025, 2024 and 2023 is calculated as 365 multiplied by Average trade receivables
divided by Revenue from operations for the relevant Fiscal. Trade Receivable Days for the six month period ended
September 30, 2025 is calculated as 182 multiplied by average trade receivables divided by revenue from operations
for the period.
(4) Trade payable days for Fiscal 2025, 2024 and 2023 is calculated as 365 multiplied by average trade payables divided
by service cost for the relevant Fiscal. Trade payable days for the six months period ended September 30, 2025 is
calculated as 182 multiplied by average trade payable divided by service cost for the period.
Note: Days rounded up to the next whole day.
We also intend to utilise ₹ 1,350 million from the Net Proceeds towards funding our working capital
requirements. The estimates have not been appraised by any bank or financial institution or other independent
agency, and no appraising entity has been appointed for the Offer. The proposed fund deployment is based
on internal management estimates basis the current circumstances of our business, and we may have to revise
our estimates from time to time on account of various factors, such as financial and market conditions,
competition, interest rate fluctuations and other external factors, which may not be within the control of our
management. We anticipate that we will require additional working capital based on the estimations set out
in “Objects of the Offer – Fresh Issue – Part funding the working capital requirements of our Company –
Future working capital requirements” on page 127. There can be no assurance that we will be able to secure
adequate financing in the future on commercially acceptable terms, or at all, including in the event our lenders
call in loans repayable on demand or if there is a change in applicable regulations. Our inability to obtain or
maintain sufficient cash flow, credit facilities and other sources of funding, in a timely manner, or at all, to
meet our working capital requirements or to pay our debts, could adversely affect our financial condition and
results of operations. For details on our working capital facilities, see “Financial Indebtedness” on page 325.
At this stage, we cannot determine with any certainty if we would require the Net Proceeds to meet any other
expenditure or fund any exigencies arising out of competitive environment, business conditions, economic
conditions or other factors beyond our control. If we are unable to deploy the Net Proceeds in a timely or
efficient manner, our business and results of operations may be affected. We operate in a competitive and
dynamic industry and may need to revise our estimates from time to time based on changes in a number of
factors, including timely completion of the Offer, general economic and business conditions, increasing
regulations or changes in government policies, competitive landscape, as well as general factors affecting
our business, results of operations, financial condition and access to capital such as credit availability and
interest rate levels, which are beyond our control.
Our working capital requirements may increase if the payment terms in our arrangements with distributors
include reduced advance payments or longer payment schedules or increased advance payments or shorter
credit period from our suppliers. These factors may result in increases in the amount of, our receivables,
short-term borrowings and the cost of availing such working capital funding. Additionally, our inability to
obtain adequate amount of working capital at such terms which are favourable to us and in a timely manner
or at all may also have an adverse effect on our financial condition. Continued increases in our working
capital requirements may have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition
and cash flows.
36. Our Statutory Auditors have included certain observations in accordance with the Companies (Auditor’s
Report) Order, 2020 which do not require any adjustments in the Restated Financial Information. We
cannot assure you that similar observations will not form part of our financial statements for future fiscal
periods, which could have an adverse effect on our reputation, trading price of the Equity Shares, results
of operations, cash flows and financial condition.
55Our statutory auditors have included certain observations in accordance with Companies (Auditor’s Report)
Order, 2020 for the financial years ended March 31, 2025, March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023 which are
in connection with irregular deposit of undisputed statutory dues. For details, see “Restated Financial
Information – Note 37 – Statement of Adjustments to the Restated Financial Information” on page 315. There
can be no assurance that any similar matters will not form part of our financial statements for future periods,
which could subject us to additional liabilities due to which our reputation and financial condition may be
adversely affected.
37. We are exposed to risks related to online payment methods, including online security and credit card
fraud, which could adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
Our private-label hotels business relies on online payment channels for processing customer transactions.
These payment methods expose us to risks such as data breaches, hacking attempts, phishing attacks, and
fraudulent transactions involving stolen credit card information. Any compromise in payment security could
result in financial losses, chargebacks, penalties, and reputational damage. While we have not experienced
any instances of online security breaches or credit card fraud in the six months ended September 30 and the
last three Fiscals which had a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition, and results of
operations, there can be no assurance that such events will not occur in the future. Furthermore, evolving
cyber threats and sophisticated fraud techniques may outpace our preventive measures. Any such occurrence
could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
38. We have incurred indebtedness and an inability to comply with repayment and other covenants in our
financing agreements could adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and
cash flows.
We have entered into financing arrangements with various lenders for short-term and long terms facilities for purposes
including funding our working capital requirements. The table below sets forth certain information on our total
borrowings, finance costs and interest coverage ratio, as of and for the years/periods as indicated:

Our ability to pay interest and repay the principal for our indebtedness is dependent upon our ability to
generate sufficient cash flows to service such debt. Any additional indebtedness we incur may have
consequences, including, requiring us to use a significant portion of our cash flow from operations and other
56available cash to service our indebtedness, thereby reducing the funds available for other purposes, including
capital expenditure and reducing our flexibility in planning for or reacting to changes in our business,
competition pressures and market conditions.
Our financing arrangements include conditions that require us to obtain respective lenders’ consent prior to
carrying out certain activities including any change in the legal status, ownership, management, or control of
our Company, including dilution of Promoter shareholding below agreed thresholds, change in the general
nature, scope, or line of business of our Company, entering into any scheme of merger, de-merger,
consolidation, amalgamation, restructuring, reorganization, or arrangement with creditors/shareholders, or
initiating voluntary winding up or dissolution, amendment of the memorandum, articles, or other
constitutional documents that may adversely affect lender rights, creation or existence of any encumbrance
or security interest or preferential arrangement over the assets of our Company, except as permitted, entering
into contracts or arrangements that result in control over our Company’s business or operations by any other
person, acquiring ownership interests, or entering into joint ventures, partnerships, or profit/royalty-sharing
arrangements, settling any litigation, arbitration, or dispute that may result in a material adverse effect and
disposing of or transferring significant assets, including those offered as security. Failure to meet these
conditions or obtain these consents could have significant consequences on our business and operations. As
of the date of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus, we have received all consents required from our lenders in
connection with the Offer.
In terms of security, the facilities are typically secured by way of, inter alia, NACH mandate, undated
cheques, letters of continuity, pari passu charges over hypothecated assets and fixed deposit. We may also
be required to furnish additional security if required by our lenders. Additionally, these financing agreements
also require us to maintain certain financial ratios. While there has been no breach of such covenants in the
last three Fiscals and six months ended September 30, 2025, we cannot assure you that we will be able to
comply with these financial or other covenants at all times or that we will be able to obtain the consent
necessary to take the actions that we believe are required to operate and grow our business. Further, there
has been no re-scheduling/ re-structuring in relation to borrowings availed by us from any financial
institutions or banks in the last three Fiscals and six months ended September 30, 2025.
Further, we are susceptible to changes in interest rates and the risks arising therefrom. Certain of our
financing agreements provide for interest at variable rates with a provision for the periodic resetting of
interest rates. For further information on the interest charged under our financing agreements, see “Financial
Indebtedness – Principal terms of the subsisting borrowings availed by our Company” on page 325.
39. Our Company has availed unsecured loans that may be recalled at any time.
Our Company has availed unsecured loans, which are currently outstanding, and may be recalled at any time.
As on November 30, 2025, the unsecured loans availed by our Company aggregated to ₹ 75.00 million,
which constituted approximately 9.56% of the total borrowings. For further information, see “Financial
Indebtedness” beginning on page 325. The table below provide details of unsecured borrowings along with
the percentage of unsecured borrowings to total indebtedness as of the dates indicated:

40. We are dependent on our employees for our business. Our business may be adversely affected by increased
wage demands by our employees or if we are unable to engage new employees at commercially attractive
terms.
The success of our operations depends on the availability of and maintaining good relationships with our
workforce. Shortage of workforce or disruptions caused by disagreements with workforce could have an
adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. While we have not
experienced any disruptions in operations due to shortage of workforce in the six months ended September
30, 2025 and last three Fiscals, which had an adverse impact on our business, results of operations, financial
condition and cash flows, we cannot assure you that we will not experience disruptions in work or our
operations, which may adversely affect our ability to continue our business operations.
Our success also depends on our ability to attract, hire, train and retain skilled personnel. Our inability to
recruit, train and retain suitably qualified and skilled personnel could adversely impact our business, results
of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
Further, we are subject to stringent labour laws, and any violation of these laws may lead regulators or other
authorities to order a suspension of certain or all of our operations. We may need to increase compensation
and other benefits either to attract and retain key personnel or due to increased wage demands by our
employees, or an increase in minimum wages and that may adversely affect our business, results of
operations, financial condition and cash flows. The following table sets forth the details regarding our
employee benefits expense in the period/years indicated:

41. Our inability to effectively manage our growth or implement our growth strategies may have an adverse
effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
We have experienced growth in our financial performance over the past six months ended September 30,
2025, and last three Fiscals. We cannot assure you that our future growth strategy of growing our enterprise
client base, increasing wallet share from existing enterprise clients, expanding adjacent corporate travel
offerings and targeting expense management opportunity, strengthening hotel supplier relationships and
expanding private label footprint, technology investment and pursuing strategic inorganic growth
opportunities will be successful or that we will be able to continue to expand further, or at the same rate. For
further information, see “Our Business – Growth Strategies” on page 200. Our ability to manage our future
growth will depend on our ability to continue to implement and improve operational, financial and
management systems on a timely basis and to expand, train, motivate and manage our personnel. The table
below sets forth details of our revenue from operations for the years/periods indicated:
Particulars Six months ended Fiscal 2025 Fiscal 2024 Fiscal 2023
September 30,
2025
58Revenue from operations (₹ 4,003.72 7,163.48 5,477.69 4,112.73
million)
We cannot assure you that our future growth strategy will be successful or that we will be able to continue
to expand further, or at the same rate. Our ability to manage our future growth will depend on our ability to
continue to implement and improve operational, financial and management systems on a timely basis and to
expand, train, motivate and manage our personnel. We cannot assure you that our personnel, systems,
procedures and controls will be adequate to support our future growth. Failure to effectively manage our
expansion may lead to increased costs and reduced profitability and may adversely affect our growth
prospects. Our inability to manage our business and implement our growth strategy could have an adverse
effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
42. Internal or external fraud or misconduct by our employees could adversely affect our reputation and our
results of operations.
We may be subject to instances of fraud, misappropriation, unauthorised acts and misconduct by our
representatives and employees which may go unnoticed for certain periods of time before corrective action
is taken. Fraudulent and unauthorised conduct by our employees could also bind us to transactions that
exceed the scope of authorisation and present significant risks to us. As a result, we may be subject to
regulatory sanctions, brand and reputational damage or financial harm. It is not always possible to deter fraud
or misconduct by employees and the precautions we take and the systems we have put in place to prevent
and deter such activities may not be effective in all cases. Further, we employ third parties for certain
operations and accordingly, we are exposed to the risk of theft and embezzlement. In addition, we may be
subject to regulatory or other proceedings in connection with such acts by our employees, which could
adversely affect our goodwill. Even if we identify instances of fraud, misappropriation, unauthorised acts
and misconduct by our representatives and employees and pursue legal recourse or file claims, we cannot
assure you that we will recover any amounts lost through such instances of fraud, misappropriation,
unauthorised acts and misconduct by our representatives and employees. While we have not had any
instances of fraud or employee misconduct, in the last three Fiscals, if any such instance arises in the future,
it could adversely affect our reputation and our results of operations.
43. Inability to maintain adequate internal controls may affect our ability to effectively manage our
operations, resulting in errors or information lapses. This may have an adverse effect on our business,
results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
We are responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control measures commensurate with
the size and complexity of operations. Our internal audit functions make an evaluation of the adequacy and
effectiveness of internal systems on an ongoing basis so that our operations adhere to our policies,
compliance requirements and internal guidelines. We periodically test and update our internal processes and
systems and there have been no instances of failure to maintain effective internal controls and compliance
system in the six months ended September 30, 2025 and last three Fiscals. However, we are exposed to
operational risks arising from the potential inadequacy or failure of internal processes or systems, and our
actions may not be sufficient to ensure effective internal checks and balances in all circumstances.
We take reasonable steps to maintain appropriate procedures for compliance and disclosure and to maintain
effective internal controls over our financial reporting so that we produce reliable financial reports and
prevent financial fraud. As risks evolve and develop, internal controls must be reviewed on an ongoing basis.
Maintaining such internal controls requires human diligence and compliance and is therefore subject to lapses
in judgment and failures that result from human error. Any lapses in judgment or failures that result from
human error can affect the accuracy of our financial reporting, resulting in a loss of investor confidence and
a decline in the price of our equity shares.
44. Certain Directors and Key Managerial Personnel hold Equity Shares in our Company and are therefore
interested in the Company’s performance in addition to their remuneration and reimbursement of
expenses.
Our Directors and Key Managerial Personnel are interested in our Company, in addition to regular
remuneration or benefits and reimbursement of expenses, to the extent of their shareholding in our Company.
The table below sets forth the details of shareholding of our Directors and Key Managerial Personnel, as
applicable:

We cannot assure you that our Promoters or Directors will exercise their rights as Shareholders to the benefit
and best interest of our Company. For further details, see “Capital Structure” and “Our Management” on
pages 94 and 240 respectively.
45. We have in the past entered into related party transactions and may continue to do so in the future, which
may potentially involve conflicts of interest with our equity shareholders. Such transactions may not
necessarily be on more favorable terms than non-related parties thus have an adverse effect on our
business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
We have entered into transactions with related parties in the past. These transactions principally include
remuneration paid to key management personnel. While all such transactions in the six months ended
September 30, 2025 and the last three Fiscals have been conducted on an arm’s length basis, in accordance
with the Companies Act and other applicable regulations pertaining to the evaluation and approval of such
transactions, we cannot assure you that we could not have achieved more favourable terms had such
transactions been entered into with unrelated parties. All related party transactions that we may enter into
post-listing, will be subject to Board or Shareholder approval, as applicable, and in compliance with the
applicable accounting standards, provisions of Companies Act, 2013, as amended, provisions of the SEBI
Listing Regulations and other applicable law, in the interest of the Company and its minority Shareholders.
Further, it is likely that we may enter into additional related party transactions in the future.
The table below provides details of our aggregate related party transactions and the percentage of such related
party transactions to our revenue from operations in the relevant years/periods:

46. Delay/ default in payment of statutory dues may attract penalties and in turn have a material adverse
impact on our financial condition.
We are required to pay certain statutory dues including provident fund contributions, employee state
insurance contributions (“ESIC”), professional taxes, labour welfare fund, goods and services tax (“GST”),
tax deducted at source (“TDS”), tax collected at source (“TCS”) and income tax.

We cannot assure you that we will not be subject to such penalties and fines in the future for delays in
payment of statutory dues, which may have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition and cash
flows.
47. Our Registered Office, and Corporate Office are not located on land owned by us. In the event we lose or
are unable to renew the rights to occupy and use such premises, our business, results of operations,
financial condition and cash flows may be adversely affected.
Our Registered Office, Corporate Office and Zonal Offices are not located on land owned by us. Our
Registered Office is used solely for the purpose of receiving statutory and business correspondence pursuant
to a service agreement entered into by the Company, and is not used as an operational office. The table below

The termination of our service agreements and lease agreements, or our failure to renew such agreements,
on favourable conditions and in a timely manner, or at all, could require us to vacate such premises at short
notice, which could adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
We cannot assure you that we will be able to renew any such arrangements when the term of the original
arrangement expires, on similar terms or terms reasonable for us or obtain any consent required under these
61arrangements in a timely manner or at all. In the event that we are required to vacate our current premises,
we would be required to make alternative arrangements, and we cannot assure that the new arrangements
will be on commercially acceptable terms. While we have not faced any instances of difficulties in
negotiating our lease arrangements or premature termination of existing lease agreements that led to any
adverse effect on our business or operations in the six months ended September 30, 2025 and last three
Fiscals, we cannot assure you that such instances will not occur in the future.
48. Any variation in the utilisation of Net Proceeds would be subject to certain compliance requirements,
including prior shareholders’ approval.
We intend to use the Net Proceeds raised pursuant to the Fresh Issue as set forth under “Objects of the Offer”
on page 124. At this stage, we cannot determine with any certainty if we would require the Net Proceeds to
meet any other expenditure or fund any exigencies arising out of competitive environment, business
conditions, economic conditions or other factors beyond our control. In accordance with Sections 13(8) and
27 of the Companies Act 2013, we cannot undertake any variation in the utilisation of the Net Proceeds
without obtaining the Shareholders’ approval through a special resolution. In the event of any such
circumstances that require us to undertake variation in the disclosed utilisation of the Net Proceeds, we may
not be able to obtain the Shareholders’ approval in a timely manner, or at all. Any delay or inability in
obtaining such Shareholders’ approval may adversely affect our business or operations. However, we will
have flexibility in utilizing the balance Net Proceeds, if any, for general corporate purposes, subject to such
utilisation not exceeding 25% of the Gross Proceeds from the Fresh Issue in accordance with Regulation 7(2)
of the SEBI ICDR Regulations.
Further, our Promoters would be required to provide an exit opportunity to Shareholders who do not agree
with our proposal to change the objects of the Offer or vary the terms of such contracts, at a price and manner
as prescribed by SEBI. Additionally, the requirement on Promoters to provide an exit opportunity to such
dissenting shareholders may deter the Promoter from agreeing to the variation of the proposed utilisation of
the Net Proceeds, even if such variation is in the interest of our Company. Further, we cannot assure you that
the Promoters of our Company will have adequate resources at their disposal at all times to enable them to
provide an exit opportunity at the price prescribed by SEBI. In light of these factors, we may not be able to
undertake variation of objects of the Offer to use any unutilized proceeds of the Offer, if any, or vary the
terms of any contract referred to in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus, even if such variation is in the interest
of our Company. This may restrict our Company’s ability to respond to any change in our business or
financial condition by re-deploying the unutilised portion of Net Proceeds, if any, or varying the terms of
contract, which may adversely affect our business and results of operations.
49. We have certain contingent liabilities that have been disclosed in the Restated Financial Information (₹
247.84 million as of September 30, 2025), which if they materialize, may adversely affect our business,
results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
As of September 30, 2025, our contingent liabilities that have been disclosed in our Restated Financial
Information, were as follows:
Particulars As of September 30, 2025
(₹ million)
Goods and Service Tax Matters* 22.71
Income Tax(1) 147.68
Other Civil cases(2) 77.45
* After considering the revised demand order wherein demand has been reduced to ₹ 1.08 million, subsequent to the reporting period.
(1) The Company has received an Income tax order from Assistant Commissioner of Income Tax for AY 2017-18 and 2021-22 in which
the Assessing Officer has reduced the returned losses and raised the demand of ₹ 27.40 million and ₹ 120.28 million respectively on
account of certain disallowances and unexplained credit. Management is of the view, based upon the expert advice, that it will not have
any impact on the Company's financial position as the disallowances are not tenable and the Company is contesting against those in
the higher appellate authorities.
(2) The Company is involved in two separate arbitration matters, both of which are currently under challenge before competent courts
under the provisions of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996. (a) In one matter, an arbitral award granted claims aggregating to
approximately ₹ 10.60 million against the Company. A conditional stay has been granted upon deposit of ₹ 10.00 million, which has
been duly complied with. (b) In another matter, an arbitral award dated August 30, 2024 granted claims aggregating to approximately
₹ 44.80 million, along with interest at 15% per annum and costs. The award has been contested and the matter remains sub judice. The
Company has assessed, based upon legal advice, there was no evidence of liquidated damages were produced and basis of claim was
unsubstantiated therefore management is of the view that it is not probable, that an outflow of economic resources will arise in absence
of these evidences u/s 34 of Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996. Accordingly, these demands have been disclosed as contingent
liabilities, and no provision has been recognized in the restated financial statements.
62If a significant portion of these liabilities materialize, it could have an adverse effect on our business, results
of operations, financial condition and cash flows. For further information, see “Restated Financial
Information – Note 30 – Contingent liabilities and commitments” on page 300.
50. Failure to obtain or renew approvals, licenses, registrations and permits to operate our business in a timely
manner, or at all, may adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash
flows.
We are required to obtain certain approvals, registrations, permissions and licenses from regulatory
authorities, to undertake our operations including business, labour and tax related approvals. For further
information on the nature of approvals and licenses required for our business and details of their validity, see
“Government and Other Approvals” on page 363. These approvals, licenses, registrations and permissions
may be subject to numerous conditions. If we fail to obtain some or all of these approvals or licenses, or
renewals thereof, in a timely manner or at all, or if we fail to comply with applicable conditions or it is
claimed that we have breached any such conditions, our license or permission for carrying on a particular
activity may be suspended or cancelled and consequently we may not be able to carry on such activity, which
could adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
We have and may need to in the future, apply for certain additional approvals, including the renewal of
approvals, which may expire from time to time. We have, inter alia, made applications for certain consents
and approvals which are pending as on the date of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus. For instance, our
Company has applied for name change in the relevant approvals for change of name of the Company For
further information, see “Government and Other Approvals – Material approvals applied for, including
renewal applications, but not received” on page 364. We cannot assure you that such approvals and licenses
will be granted or renewed in a timely manner or will not be cancelled or withdrawn by the relevant
governmental or regulatory authorities. Failure to obtain or renew such approvals and licenses in a timely
manner would make our operations non-compliant with applicable laws and may result in the imposition of
penalties by relevant authorities and may also prevent us from carrying out our business, and may adversely
affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
51. If we fail to protect or incur significant costs in defending our intellectual property or if we infringe the
intellectual property rights of others, our business, results of operation, financial condition and cash flows
could be adversely affected.
As of the date of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus, we have registered 13 trademarks under class 39, 42 and
43 with the Registry of Trademarks under the Trade Marks Act, 1999. Further, we have applied for, but nor
yet obtained, registration or one of our trademarks, “Via”. As of the date of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus,
the status of the trademark application for “Via” under class 43 is objected. For further details, see
“Government and Other Approvals – Intellectual Property” on page 364. Our future success depends, in
part, on our ability to protect these intellectual property and other proprietary rights that we may develop.
We rely primarily on trademarks and unfair competition laws, as well as other contractual provisions, to
protect our intellectual property and other proprietary rights. Despite our efforts, we may be unable to prevent
third parties from infringing upon or misappropriating our intellectual property or otherwise gaining access
to our technology.
While we ensure that we comply with the intellectual property rights of others, we cannot determine with
certainty whether we are infringing any existing third-party intellectual property rights. While we have not
had any incidents in the past alleging infringement of third-party intellectual property, we cannot assure you
that such incidents may not occur in the future. Any claims of intellectual property infringement from third
parties, regardless of merit or resolution of such claims, could force us to incur significant costs in responding
to, defending and resolving such claims, and may divert the efforts and attention of our management and
technical personnel away from our business. As a result of such infringement claims, we could be required
to pay third party infringement claims, alter our technologies, obtain licenses or cease some portions of our
operations, which may have an adverse impact on our business, results of operations, financial conditions
and cash flows.
52. Grants of options to purchase Equity Shares by our Company will result in a charge to our statement of
profit and loss. The exercise of such options could dilute the holdings of our shareholders and adversely
affect the trading price of our Equity Shares.
As at the date of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus, the total number of outstanding options under the ESOP
63Scheme are 2,521,890. For further details, see “Capital Structure – ESOP Scheme” on page 120. The grant
of stock options by our Company will result in a charge to our statement of profit and loss. The future
issuance of Equity Shares pursuant to the exercise of options granted under the ESOP Scheme could dilute
the holdings of our Shareholders and adversely affect the trading price of the Equity Shares. Such Equity
Shares could be issued at prices below the then current trading price of the Equity Shares.
53. A portion of the Net Proceeds is proposed to be utilized for repayment or pre-payment, in full or part, all
or a portion of certain loans availed by our Company.
Our Company intends to use a certain portion of the Net Proceeds for the repayment of certain borrowings
of our Company. For details, see “Objects of the Offer” on page 124. However, the repayment/ prepayment
of the identified borrowings is subject to various factors including, commercial considerations, market
conditions and conditions attached to such borrowings including prepayment penalties. While we believe
that utilization of Net Proceeds for repayment of borrowings would help us to reduce our cost of debt, the
repayment of loans will not result in the creation of any tangible assets for our Company.
54. Our Company does not have any comparable listed peers and, therefore, investors must rely on their own
examination of our Company.
Our Company does not have any comparable listed peers whose business models or financial performance
can be used as a benchmark for evaluating our Company. While certain listed companies may operate in
related industries or engage in some similar business activities, these companies differ significantly from our
business As a result, no Indian publicly listed company can be considered a true peer group for our Company.
Given this lack of comparability, investors must rely on their own analysis and evaluation of our Company’s
financial metrics, including accounting ratios, when making an investment decision for the purposes of
investment in the Offer. For further details on the basis of our Offer Price, see also “Basis of Offer Price” on
page 135.
55. Our Company may not be able to pay dividends in the future. Our ability to pay dividends in the future
will depend upon our future earnings, financial condition, profit after tax available for distribution, cash
flows, working capital requirements and capital expenditure and the terms of our financing arrangements.
Any dividends to be declared and paid in the future are required to be recommended by our Company’s
Board of Directors and approved by its Shareholders, at their discretion, subject to the provisions of the
Articles of Association and applicable law, including the Companies Act, 2013. Our Company’s ability to
pay dividends in the future will depend upon our future results of operations, financial condition, profit after
tax available for distribution, cash flows, sufficient profitability, working capital requirements and capital
expenditure requirements. We cannot assure you that we will generate sufficient revenues to cover our
operating expenses and, as such, pay dividends to our Company’s shareholders in future consistent with our
past practices, or at all. We have not declared any dividends on the Equity Shares during the last three Fiscals
and during the period from April 1, 2025, until the date of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus. For information
pertaining to dividend policy, see “Dividend Policy” on page 259.
56. Certain sections of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus disclose information from the 1Lattice Report
which is a paid report and commissioned and paid for by us exclusively in connection with the Offer and
any reliance on such information for making an investment decision in the Offer is subject to inherent
risks.
We have availed the services of an independent consulting company, Lattice Technologies Private Limited
(“1Lattice”), appointed by our Company pursuant to an engagement letter dated July 14, 2025 to prepare an
industry report titled “Corporate travel management industry report” dated December 15, 2025, for purposes
of inclusion of such information in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus to understand the industry in which
we operate. The 1Lattice Report has been commissioned by our Company exclusively in connection with
the Offer for a fee. Our Company, our Promoters, our Directors, and our Key Managerial Personnel and
Senior Management Personnel are not related to 1Lattice. The 1Lattice Report is subject to various
limitations and based upon certain assumptions that are subjective in nature. Further the commissioned report
is not a recommendation to invest or divest in our Company. Prospective investors are advised not to unduly
rely on the commissioned report or extracts thereof as included in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus, when
making their investment decisions.
6457. We have included in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus certain non-GAAP financial measures and certain
other industry measures related to our operations and financial performance. These non-GAAP measures
and industry measures may vary from any standard methodology that is applicable across the industry,
and therefore may not be comparable with financial or industry related statistical information of similar
nomenclature computed and presented by other companies.
Certain non-GAAP financial measures and certain other industry measures relating to our operations and
financial performance such as EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Net Worth, Return
on Net Worth and Net Asset Value per Equity Share, have been included in this Draft Red Herring
Prospectus. We compute and disclose such non-GAAP financial measures and such other industry related
statistical information relating to our operations and financial performance as we consider such information
to be useful measures of our business and financial performance, and because such measures are frequently
used by securities analysts, investors and others to evaluate the operational performance of the industry,
many of which provide such non-GAAP financial measures and other industry related statistical and
operational information. Such supplemental financial and operational information is therefore of limited
utility as an analytical tool, and investors are cautioned against considering such information either in
isolation or as a substitute for an analysis of our audited financial statements as reported under applicable
accounting standards disclosed elsewhere in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus. These non-GAAP financial
measures and such other industry related statistical and other information relating to our operations and
financial performance may not be computed on the basis of any standard methodology that is applicable
across the industry and therefore may not be comparable to financial measures and industry related statistical
information of similar nomenclature that may be computed and presented by other companies. For further
information, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
– Non-GAAP Financial Measures” on page 342.
58. The average cost of acquisition of Equity Shares by the Promoter Selling Shareholders could be lower
than the price determined at time of registering the Prospectus.
The Promoter Selling Shareholders’ average cost of acquisition of Equity Shares in our Company may be
lower price determined at time of registering the Prospectus, which is to be determined through the Book
Building Process. For further details regarding average cost of acquisition of Equity Shares by our Promoter
Selling Shareholders in our Company, see “Summary of the Offer Document” on page 23 and for details
regarding the build-up of the Equity Shareholdings of by our Promoters in our Company, see “Capital
Structure” on page 94.
59. We have issued Equity Shares in the last 12 months prior to the date of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus
at prices that could be lower than the Offer Price.
We have, in the last 12 months prior to filing this Draft Red Herring Prospectus, issued Equity Shares at a
price that could be lower than the Offer Price. Further, we may issue additional Equity Shares pursuant to
the exercise of options that may be granted under our existing or future employee stock option schemes,
which may be at prices lower than the Offer Price. For details, see “Capital Structure – Notes to Capital
Structure –Equity share capital history of our Company” on page 95 and “Capital Structure –Notes to
Capital Structure – ESOP Scheme” on page 120.
60. We will not receive proceeds from the Offer for Sale. The Selling Shareholders will receive Net Proceeds
from the Offer for Sale.
The Offer consists of a Fresh Issue and an Offer for Sale. The proceeds from the Offer for Sale will be
transferred to each of the Selling Shareholders, in proportion to its respective portion of the Offered Shares
transferred by each of them in the Offer for Sale (after deducting applicable Offer-related expenses and taxes)
and will not result in any creation of value for us or in respect of your investment in our Company, and our
Company will not receive any proceeds from the Offer for Sale. For details relating to the Offer, see “The
Offer” and “Objects of the Offer” on pages 75 and 124, respectively.
61. A majority of our Directors are or were not directors of listed companies and hence lack of adequate
experience to address complexities associated with listed companies, could have an adverse impact on our
business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
Except Vanaja N Sarna, an Independent Director of our Company, who is also an Independent Director of
Borosil Renewables Limited, Gujarat State Petronet Limited, Subros Limited and Gujarat State Petroleum
65Corporation Limited, and Sumith Ramrao Kamath an Independent Director of our Company, who is also an
Independent Director on the board of directors of Ivalue Infosolutions Limited which are listed on stock
exchanges in India, none of our other Directors are currently, or have been in the past directors on the board
of any listed companies. For further details, see “Our Management – Board of Directors” on page 240. We
cannot assure you if the lack of adequate experience of being on the board of listed companies will affect
their ability to effectively address the specific complexities associated with being a listed company, which
may have an adverse impact on our operations as a listed company.
External Risk Factors
62. The determination of the Price Band is based on various factors and assumptions and the Offer Price,
price to earnings ratio and market capitalization to revenue multiple based on the Offer Price of our
Company, may not be indicative of the market price of the Company on listing or thereafter.
Our Revenue from Operations for Fiscal 2025 was ₹ 7,163.48 million and restated loss after tax for the year
for Fiscal 2025 was ₹ 62.71 million. The table below provides details of our price to earnings ratio and
market capitalization to Revenue from Operations at the upper end of the Price Band:
Particulars Price to Earnings Ratio Market Capitalization to Revenue
Fiscal 2025 [●]* [●]*
*To be populated at Prospectus stage.
The determination of the Price Band is based on various factors and assumptions, and will be determined by
our Company in consultation with the BRLMs. The relevant financial parameters based on which the Price
Band will be determined shall be disclosed in the advertisement that will be issued for the publication of the
Price Band. Further, the Offer Price of the Equity Shares is proposed to be determined on the basis of
assessment of market demand for the Equity Shares offered through the book-building process prescribed
under the SEBI ICDR Regulations, and certain quantitative and qualitative factors as set out in the section
“Basis for Offer Price” on page 135 and the Offer Price, multiples and ratios may not be indicative of the
market price of the Company on listing or thereafter.
Prior to the Offer, there has been no public market for our Equity Shares, and an active trading market on the
Stock Exchanges may not develop or be sustained after the Offer. Listing does not guarantee that a market
for the Equity Shares will develop, or if developed, the liquidity of such market for the Equity Shares.
The market price of the Equity Shares may be subject to significant fluctuations in response to, among other
factors, variations in our operating results, market conditions specific to the industry we operate in,
developments relating to India, announcements by third parties or governmental entities of significant claims
or proceedings against us, volatility in the securities markets in India and other jurisdictions, variations in
the growth rate of financial indicators, variations in revenue or earnings estimates by research publications,
and changes in economic, legal and other regulatory factors. As a result, we cannot assure you that an active
market will develop or sustained trading will take place in the Equity Shares or provide any assurance
regarding the price at which the Equity Shares will be traded after listing. Further, the market price of the
Equity Shares may decline below the Offer Price. We cannot assure you that you will be able to sell your
Equity Shares at or above the Offer Price.
63. Changing laws, rules and regulations and legal uncertainties, including adverse application of tax laws,
may adversely affect our business, prospects and results of operations.
The regulatory and policy environment in which we operate are evolving and are subject to change. The
Government of India may implement new laws or other regulations and policies that could affect our business
in general, which could lead to new compliance requirements, including requiring us to obtain approvals and
licenses from the Government and other regulatory bodies, or impose onerous requirements.
For instance, the GoI has introduced (a) the Code on Wages, 2019; (b) the Code on Social Security, 2020;
(c) the Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions Code, 2020; and (d) the Industrial Relations
Code, 2020 which consolidate, subsume and replace numerous existing central labour legislations. Except
certain portion of the Code on Wages, 2019, which have come into force pursuant to the notification by the
Ministry of Labour and Employment, the rules for implementation under these codes have not been notified,
we are yet to determine the impact of all or some such laws on our business and operations which may restrict
our ability to grow our business in the future and increase our expenses. Further, pursuant to the Finance
66Act, 2025, the Government of India has proposed income tax slabs and marginal tax rates against those slabs.
There is no certainty on the impact of the full Union budget on tax laws or other regulations, which may
adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations or on the industry in which we
operate.
The Parliament of India has passed the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha
Sanhita, 2023 and the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023, which have repealed the Indian Penal Code,
1860, the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 and the Indian Evidence Act, 1872, respectively, with effect
from July 1, 2024. The effect of the provisions of these on us and the litigations involving us cannot be
predicted with certainty at this stage.
Uncertainty in the applicability, interpretation or implementation of any amendment to, or change in,
governing law, regulation or policy, including by reason of an absence, or a limited body, of administrative
or judicial precedent may be time consuming as well as costly for us to resolve and may impact the viability
of our current businesses or restrict our ability to grow our businesses in the future. For instance, the Supreme
Court of India has in a decision clarified the components of basic wages which need to be considered by
companies while making provident fund payments, which resulted in an increase in the provident fund
payments to be made by companies. Any such decisions in future or any further changes in interpretation of
laws may have an impact on our results of operations.
64. Natural or man-made disasters, fires, epidemics, pandemics, acts of war, terrorist attacks, civil unrest and
other events could adversely affect our business.
The occurrence of natural disasters, including cyclones, storms, floods, earthquakes, tsunamis, tornadoes,
fires, explosions, pandemic disease and man-made disasters, including acts of terrorism and military actions,
could adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition or cash flows. Terrorist attacks and other
acts of violence or war may adversely affect the Indian securities markets. In addition, any deterioration in
international relations, especially between India and its neighbouring countries, may result in investor
concern regarding regional stability which could adversely affect the price of the Equity Shares. In addition,
India has witnessed local civil disturbances in recent years and it is possible that future civil unrest as well
as other adverse social, economic or political events in India could have an adverse effect on our business.
Such incidents could also create a greater perception that investment in Indian companies involves a higher
degree of risk and could have an adverse effect on our business and the market price of the Equity Shares.
65. A third party could be prevented from acquiring control of our Company because of anti-takeover
provisions under Indian law.
There are provisions in Indian law that may delay, deter or prevent a future takeover or change in control of
our Company, even if a change in control would result in the purchase of your Equity Shares at a premium
to the market price or would otherwise be beneficial to you. Such provisions may discourage or prevent
certain types of transactions involving actual or threatened change in control of our Company. Under the
SEBI Takeover Regulations, an acquirer has been defined as any person who, directly or indirectly, acquires
or agrees to acquire shares or voting rights or control over a company, whether individually or acting in
concert with others. Although these provisions have been formulated to ensure that interests of
investors/shareholders are protected, these provisions may also discourage a third party from attempting to
take control of our Company. Consequently, even if a potential takeover of our Company would result in the
purchase of the Equity Shares at a premium to their market price or would otherwise be beneficial to its
stakeholders, it is possible that such a takeover would not be attempted or consummated because of the SEBI
Takeover Regulations.
66. A downgrade in ratings of India and other jurisdictions we operate in may affect the trading price of the
Equity Shares.
India’s sovereign debt rating could be downgraded due to several factors, including changes in tax or fiscal
policy or a decline in India’s foreign exchange reserves, all which are outside the control of our Company.
Any adverse revisions to India’s credit ratings for domestic and international debt by international rating
agencies may adversely impact our ability to raise additional external financing, and the interest rates and
other commercial terms at which such additional financing is available. Our borrowing costs and our access
to the debt capital markets depend significantly on the credit ratings of India. Any further adverse revisions
to credit ratings for India and other jurisdictions we operate in by international rating agencies may adversely
impact our ability to raise additional financing. This could have an adverse effect on our ability to fund our
67growth on favourable terms and consequently adversely affect our business and financial performance and
the price of the Equity Shares.
67. Political, economic or other factors that are beyond our control may have an adverse effect on our
business and results of operations.
We are dependent on domestic, regional and global economic and market conditions. Our performance,
growth and market price of our Equity Shares are and will be dependent to a large extent on the health of the
economy in which we operate. There have been periods of slowdown in the economic growth of India.
Demand for our services may be adversely affected by an economic downturn in domestic, regional and
global economies. Economic growth in the countries in which we operate is affected by various factors
including domestic consumption and savings, balance of trade movements, namely export demand and
movements in key imports (oil and oil products), global economic uncertainty and liquidity crisis, volatility
in exchange currency rates, and annual rainfall which affects agricultural production. Consequently, any
future slowdown in the Indian economy could harm our business and results of operations. Also, a change
in the government or a change in the economic and deregulation policies could adversely affect economic
conditions prevalent in the areas in which we operate in general and our business in particular and high rates
of inflation in India could increase our costs without proportionately increasing our revenues, and as such
decrease our operating margins.
68. Significant differences exist between Ind AS and other accounting principles, such as U.S. GAAP and
IFRS, which investors may be more familiar with and may consider material to their assessment of our
financial condition.
The Restated Financial Information is prepared in accordance with Ind AS and restated in accordance with
requirements of Section 26 of Part I of Chapter III of the Companies Act, 2013 (as amended), the SEBI ICDR
Regulations (as amended) and the Guidance Note on “Reports in Company Prospectuses (Revised 2019)”
issued by the ICAI. Ind AS differs in certain significant respects from Indian GAAP, IFRS, U.S. GAAP and
other accounting principles with which prospective investors may be familiar in other countries. We have
not attempted to quantify their impact of US GAAP or IFRS on the financial data included in this Draft Red
Herring Prospectus nor do we provide a reconciliation of our financial statements to those of US GAAP or
IFRS. US GAAP and IFRS differ in significant respects from Ind AS. Prospective investors should review
the accounting policies applied in the preparation of our financial statements, and consult their own
professional advisers for an understanding of the differences between these accounting principles and those
with which they may be more familiar. Any reliance by persons not familiar with Indian accounting practices
on the financial disclosures presented in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus should be limited accordingly.
69. We may be affected by competition laws in India, the adverse application or interpretation of which could
adversely affect our business.
The Competition Act, 2002, of India, as amended (“Competition Act”), regulates practices having an
appreciable adverse effect on competition in the relevant market in India (“AAEC”). Under the Competition
Act, any formal or informal arrangement, understanding or action in concert, which causes or is likely to
cause an AAEC is considered void and may result in the imposition of substantial penalties. Further, any
agreement among competitors which directly or indirectly involves the determination of purchase or sale
prices, limits or controls production, supply, markets, technical development, investment or the provision of
services or shares the market or source of production or provision of services in any manner, including by
way of allocation of geographical area or number of consumers in the relevant market or directly or indirectly
results in bid-rigging or collusive bidding is presumed to have an AAEC and is considered void. The
Competition Act also prohibits abuse of a dominant position by any enterprise. If it is proved that the
contravention committed by a company took place with the consent or connivance or is attributable to any
neglect on the part of, any director, manager, secretary or other officer of such company, that person shall
be also guilty of the contravention and may be punished.
Further, the Competition Commission of India (“CCI”) has extra-territorial powers and can investigate any
agreements, abusive conduct or combination occurring outside India if such agreement, conduct or
combination has an AAEC in India. However, the impact of the provisions of the Competition Act on the
agreements entered into by us cannot be predicted with certainty at this stage. In the event we pursue an
acquisition in the future, we may be affected, directly or indirectly, by the application or interpretation of
any provision of the Competition Act, or any enforcement proceedings initiated by the CCI, or any adverse
publicity that may be generated due to scrutiny or prosecution by the CCI or if any prohibition or substantial
68penalties are levied under the Competition Act, it would adversely affect our business, results of operations,
cash flows and prospects. The manner in which the Competition Act and the CCI affect the business
environment in India may also adversely affect our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of
operations.
The Competition (Amendment) Act, 2023 (“Competition Amendment Act”) amends the Competition Act
and give the CCI additional powers to prevent practices that harm competition and the interests of consumers.
The Competition Amendment Act, inter alia, modifies the scope of certain factors used to determine AAEC,
reduces the overall time limit for the assessment of combinations by the CCI from 210 days to 150 days and
empowers the CCI to impose penalties based on the global turnover of entities, for anti-competitive
agreements and abuse of dominant position. The Competition Amendment Act also proposed amendments
such as introduction of deal value thresholds for assessing whether a merger or acquisition qualifies as a
“combination,” expedited merger review timelines, codification of the lowest standard of “control” and
enhanced penalties for failing to provide material information. For details, see “Key Regulations and
Policies” on page 226.
If we pursue acquisition transactions in the future, we may be affected, directly or indirectly, by the
application or interpretation of any provision of the Competition Act, any enforcement proceedings initiated
by the CCI, any adverse publicity that may be generated due to scrutiny or prosecution by the CCI, any
adverse publicity that may be generated due to scrutiny or prosecution by the CCI, or any prohibition or
substantial penalties levied under the Competition Act, which would adversely affect our business, results of
our operations, cash flows and prospects.
70. The Indian tax regime has undergone substantial changes which could adversely affect our business and
the trading price of the Equity Shares.
Any change in Indian tax laws could have an effect on our operations. The GoI has implemented two major
reforms in Indian tax laws, namely the Goods and Services Tax (“GST”), and provisions relating to general
anti-avoidance rules (“GAAR”). The indirect tax regime in India has undergone a complete overhaul. The
indirect taxes on goods and services, such as central excise duty, service tax, central sales tax, state value
added tax, surcharge and excise have been replaced by GST with effect from July 1, 2017. The GST regime
continues to be subject to amendments and its interpretation by the relevant regulatory authorities is
constantly evolving.
GAAR became effective from April 1, 2017. The tax consequences of the GAAR provisions being applied
to an arrangement may result in, among others, a denial of tax benefit to us and our business. In the absence
of any substantial precedents on the subject, the application of these provisions is subjective. If the GAAR
provisions are made applicable to us, it may have an adverse tax impact on us. Further, if the tax costs
associated with certain of our transactions are greater than anticipated because of a particular tax risk
materializing on account of new tax regulations and policies, it could affect our profitability from such
transactions.
Earlier, distribution of dividends by a domestic company was subject to Dividend Distribution Tax (“DDT”),
in the hands of the company at an effective rate of 20.56% (inclusive of applicable surcharge and cess). Such
dividends were generally exempt from tax in the hands of the shareholders. However, the GoI has amended
the Income-tax Act, 1961 (“IT Act”) to abolish the DDT regime. Accordingly, any dividend distribution by
a domestic company is subject to tax in the hands of the investor at the applicable rate. Additionally, the
Company is required to withhold tax on such dividends distributed at the applicable rate.
Further, the Finance Act, 2025, was notified on March 29, 2025, which has introduced various amendments
to the IT Act. Investors are advised to consult their own tax advisors and to carefully consider the potential
tax consequences of owning, investing or trading in the Equity Shares. There is no certainty on the impact
that the Finance Act, 2025 may have on our business and operations or on the industry in which we operate.
Uncertainty in the applicability, interpretation or implementation of any amendment to, or change in,
governing law, regulation or policy, including by reason of an absence, or a limited body, of administrative
or judicial precedent may be time consuming as well as costly for us to resolve and may affect the viability
of our current business or restrict our ability to grow our business in the future.
We cannot predict whether any new tax laws or regulations impacting our services will be enacted, what the
nature and impact of the specific terms of any such laws or regulations will be or whether if at all, any laws
or regulations would have an adverse effect on our business. Further, any adverse order passed by the
69appellate authorities/ tribunals/ courts would have an effect on our profitability. In addition, we are subject
to tax related inquiries and claims.
71. The requirements of being a publicly listed company may strain our resources.
We are not a publicly listed company and have not, historically, been subjected to the increased scrutiny of
our affairs by shareholders, regulators and the public at large that is associated with being a listed company.
As a listed company, we will incur significant legal, accounting, corporate governance and other expenses
that we did not incur as an unlisted company. We will be subject to the SEBI Listing Regulations, which
will, among other things, require us to file audited annual and unaudited quarterly reports with respect to our
business and financial condition. If we experience any delays, we may fail to satisfy our reporting obligations
and/or we may not be able to readily determine and accordingly report any changes in our results of
operations as promptly as other listed companies. Further, as a publicly listed company, we will need to
maintain and improve the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over
financial reporting, including keeping adequate records of daily transactions. In order to maintain and
improve the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial
reporting, significant resources and management attention will be required. As a result, our management’s
attention may be diverted from our business concerns, which may adversely affect our business, prospects,
results of operations, cash flows and financial condition. In addition, we may need to hire additional legal
and accounting staff with appropriate experience and technical accounting knowledge, but we cannot assure
you that we will be able to do so in a timely and efficient manner.
72. If inflation were to rise in India, we might not be able to increase the prices of our services at a
proportional rate in order to pass costs on to our consumers thereby reducing our margins.
Inflation rates in India have been volatile in recent years, and such volatility may continue in the future. India
has experienced high inflation in the recent past. Increased inflation can contribute to an increase in interest
rates and increased costs to our business, including increased costs of wages and other expenses. High
fluctuations in inflation rates may make it more difficult for us to accurately estimate or control our costs.
Any increase in inflation in India can increase our expenses, which we may not be able to adequately pass
on to our consumers, whether entirely or in part, and may adversely affect our business, results of operations,
cash flows and financial condition. In particular, we might not be able to reduce our costs or increase the
price of our services to pass the increase in costs on to our consumers. In such case, our business, results of
operations, cash flows and financial condition may be adversely affected. Further, the Government of India
has previously initiated economic measures to combat high inflation rates, and it is unclear whether these
measures will remain in effect. There can be no assurance that Indian inflation levels will not worsen in the
future.
73. There is no guarantee that our Equity Shares will be listed on the Stock Exchanges in a timely manner or
at all.
In accordance with Indian law and practice, permission for listing and trading of our Equity Shares will not
be granted until after certain actions have been completed in relation to this Offer and until Allotment of
Equity Shares pursuant to this Offer. In accordance with current regulations and circulars issued by SEBI,
our Equity Shares are required to be listed on the BSE and NSE within such time as mandated under UPI
Circulars, subject to any change in the prescribed timeline in this regard. However, we cannot assure you
that the trading in our Equity Shares will commence in a timely manner or at all. Any failure or delay in
obtaining final listing and trading approvals may restrict your ability to dispose of your Equity Shares.
74. Pursuant to listing of the Equity Shares, we may be subject to pre-emptive surveillance measures like
Additional Surveillance Measure (“ASM”) and Graded Surveillance Measures (“GSM”) by the Stock
Exchanges in order to enhance market integrity and safeguard the interest of investors.
SEBI and Stock Exchanges in order to enhance market integrity and safeguard interest of investors, have
been introducing various enhanced pre-emptive surveillance measures. The main objective of these measures
is to alert and advice investors to be extra cautious while dealing in these securities and advice market
participants to carry out necessary due diligence while dealing in these securities. Accordingly, SEBI and
Stock Exchanges have provided for (a) GSM on securities where such trading price of such securities does
not commensurate with financial health and fundamentals such as earnings, book value, fixed assets, net-
worth, price per equity multiple and market capitalization; and (b) ASM on securities with surveillance
concerns based on objective parameters such as price and volume variation and volatility.
70On listing, we may be subject to general market conditions which may include significant price and volume
fluctuations. The price of our Equity Shares may also fluctuate after the Offer due to several factors such as
volatility in the Indian and global securities market, our profitability and performance, performance of our
competitors, changes in the estimates of our performance or any other political or economic factor. The
occurrence of any of the abovementioned factors may trigger the parameters identified by SEBI and the
Stock Exchanges for placing securities under the GSM or ASM framework such as net worth and net fixed
assets of securities, high low variation in securities, client concentration and close to close price variation.
In the event our Equity Shares are covered under such pre-emptive surveillance measures implemented by
SEBI and the Stock Exchanges, we may be subject to certain additional restrictions in relation to trading of
our Equity Shares such as limiting trading frequency (for example, trading either allowed once in a week or
a month) or freezing of price on upper side of trading which may have an adverse effect on the market price
of our Equity Shares or may in general cause disruptions in the development of an active market for and
trading of our Equity Shares.
75. The Equity Shares have never been publicly traded and the Offer may not result in an active or liquid
market for the Equity Shares. Further, the price of the Equity Shares may be volatile, and the investors
may be unable to resell the Equity Shares at or above the Offer Price, or at all.
Prior to the Offer, there has been no public market for the Equity Shares, and an active trading market on the
stock exchanges may not develop or be sustained after the Offer. Listing and quotation does not guarantee
that a market for the Equity Shares will develop, or if developed, the liquidity of such market for the Equity
Shares. Our Equity Shares are expected to trade on NSE and BSE after the Offer, but there can be no
assurance that active trading in our Equity Shares will develop after the Offer, or if such trading develops
that it will continue. Investors may not be able to sell the Equity Shares at the quoted price if there is no
active trading in our Equity Shares. There has been significant volatility in the Indian stock markets in the
recent past, and the trading price of our Equity Shares after the Offer could fluctuate significantly as a result
of market volatility or due to various internal or external risks, including but not limited to those described
in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus. The market price of our Equity Shares may be influenced by many
factors, some of which are beyond our control, including, among others:
• the failure of security analysts to cover the Equity Shares after the Offer, or changes in the estimates
of our performance by analysts;
• the activities of competitors and suppliers;
• future sales of the Equity Shares by us or our Shareholders;
• investor perception of us and the industry in which we operate;
• changes in accounting standards, policies, guidance, interpretations of principles;
• our quarterly or annual earnings or those of our competitors;
• developments affecting fiscal, industrial or environmental regulations; and
• the public’s reaction to our press releases and adverse media reports.
A decrease in the market price of our Equity Shares could cause you to lose some or all of your investment.
76. Investors may be subject to Indian taxes arising out of income arising on the sale of the Equity Shares.
A securities transaction tax (“STT”) is levied on and collected by an Indian stock exchange on which equity
shares are sold. The Finance Act, 2019 amended the Indian Stamp Act, 1899 with effect from July 1, 2020
and clarified that, in the absence of a specific provision under an agreement, the liability to pay stamp duty
in case of sale of securities through stock exchanges will be on the buyer, while in other cases of transfer for
consideration through a depository, the onus will be on the transferor. The Finance Act, 2020, has, among
other things, provided a number of amendments to the direct and indirect tax regime, including, without
limitation, a simplified alternate direct tax regime and that dividend distribution tax will not be payable in
respect of dividends declared, distributed or paid by a domestic company after March 31, 2020, and
71accordingly, that such dividends not be exempt in the hands of the shareholders, both resident as well as non-
resident, and that such dividends likely be subject to tax deduction at source. The Company may or may not
grant the benefit of a tax treaty (where applicable) to a non-resident shareholder for the purposes of deducting
tax at source from such dividend. Investors should consult their own tax advisors about the consequences of
investing or trading in the Equity Shares.
Further, under current Indian tax laws and regulations, unless specifically exempted, capital gains arising
from the sale of equity shares in an Indian company are generally taxable in India. Any gain realized on the
sale of our Equity Shares on a stock exchange held for more than 12 months is subject to long term capital
gains tax in India. Such long-term capital gains exceeding ₹0.10 million arising from the sale of listed equity
shares on a stock exchange are subject to tax at the rate of 12.50% (plus applicable surcharge and cess). A
STT will be levied on and collected by an Indian stock exchange on which our Equity Shares are sold. Any
gain realized on the sale of our Equity Shares held for more than 12 months by an Indian resident, which are
sold otherthan on a recognized stock exchange and as a result of which no STT has been paid, will be subject
to long-term capital gains tax in India. Further, any gain realized on the sale of our Equity Shares held for a
period of 12 months or less will be subject to short-term capital gains tax in India. Further, any gain realized
on the sale of listed equity shares held for a period of 12 months or less which are sold other than on a
recognized stock exchange and on which no STT has been paid, will be subject to short-term capital gains
tax at a higher rate compared to the transaction where STT has been paid in India. Capital gains arising from
the sale of our Equity Shares will be exempt from taxation in India in cases where an exemption is provided
under a treatybetween India and the country of which the seller is a resident.
In cases where the seller is a non-resident, capital gains arising from the sale of the equity shares will be
partially or wholly exempt from taxation in India in cases where the exemption from taxation in India is
provided under a treaty between India andthe country of which the seller is resident. Historically, Indian tax
treaties do not limit India’s ability to impose tax on capital gains. As a result, residents of other countries
may be liable for tax in India as well as in their own jurisdiction on a gain upon the sale of the equity shares.
Unfavorable changes in or interpretations of existing, or the promulgation of new laws, rules and
regulations including foreign investment and stamp duty laws governing our business and operations could
result in us being deemed to be in contravention of such laws and may require us to apply for additional
approvals.Further, we cannot predict whether any tax laws or other regulations impacting it will be enacted
or predict the nature and impact of any such laws or regulations or whether, if at all, any laws or regulations
may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
77. Investors will not be able to sell immediately on an Indian stock exchange any of the Equity Shares they
purchase in the Offer.
The Equity Shares will be listed on the Stock Exchanges. Pursuant to applicable Indian laws, certain actions
must be completed before the Equity Shares can be listed and trading in the Equity Shares may commence.
The Allotment and transfer of Equity Shares in this Offer and the credit of such Equity Shares to the
applicant’s demat account with depository participant could take approximately two Working Days from the
Bid Closing Date and trading in the Equity Shares upon receipt of final listing and trading approvals from
the Stock Exchanges is expected to commence within three Working Days of the Bid Closing Date. There
could be a failure or delay in the listing of the Equity Shares on the Stock Exchanges. Any failure or delay
in obtaining the approval or otherwise any delay in commencing trading in the Equity Shares would restrict
investors’ ability to dispose of their Equity Shares. There can be no assurance that the Equity Shares will be
credited to investors’ demat accounts, or that trading in the Equity Shares will commence, within the time
periods specified in this risk factor. We could also be required to pay interest at the applicable rates if
allotment is not made, refund orders are not dispatched or demat credits are not made to investors within the
prescribed time periods. For further information, see “Offer Procedure” on page 397.
78. Any future issuance of Equity Shares, or convertible securities or other equity linked instruments by us
may dilute your shareholding and sale of Equity Shares by shareholders with significant shareholding
may adversely affect the trading price of the Equity Shares.
We may be required to finance our growth through future equity offerings. Any future equity issuances by
us, including a primary offering of Equity Shares, convertible securities or securities linked to Equity Shares,
may lead to the dilution of investors’ shareholdings in our Company. Any future equity issuances by us or
sales of our Equity Shares by our shareholders may adversely affect the trading price of the Equity Shares,
which may lead to other adverse consequences including difficulty in raising capital through offering of our
72Equity Shares or incurring additional debt. Any disposal of Equity Shares by our major shareholders or the
perception that such issuance or sales may occur, including to comply with the minimum public shareholding
norms applicable to listed companies in India may adversely affect the trading price of the Equity Shares,
which may lead to other adverse consequences including difficulty in raising capital through offering of the
Equity Shares or incurring additional debt. There can be no assurance that we will not issue Equity Shares,
convertible securities or securities linked to Equity Shares or that our Shareholders will not dispose of, pledge
or encumber their Equity Shares in the future. Any future issuances could also dilute the value of your
investment in the Equity Shares. In addition, any perception by investors that such issuances or sales might
occur may also affect the market price of our Equity Shares.
79. Under Indian law, foreign investors are subject to investment restrictions that limit our ability to attract
foreign investors, which may adversely affect the trading price of the Equity Shares.
Under foreign exchange regulations currently in force in India, transfer of shares between non-residents and
residents are freely permitted (subject to compliance with sectoral norms and certain other restrictions), if
they comply with the pricing guidelines and reporting requirements specified by the RBI. If the transfer of
shares, which are sought to be transferred, is not in compliance with such pricing guidelines or reporting
requirements or falls under any of the exceptions referred to above, then a prior approval of the RBI will be
required. Further, unless specifically restricted, foreign investment is freely permitted in all sectors of the
Indian economy up to any extent and without any prior approvals, but the foreign investor is required to
follow certain prescribed procedures for making such investment. Additionally, shareholders who seek to
convert Rupee proceeds from a sale of shares in India into foreign currency and repatriate that foreign
currency from India require a no-objection or a tax clearance certificate from the Indian income tax
authorities. As provided in the foreign exchange controls currently in effect in India, the RBI has provided
that the price at which the Equity Shares are transferred be calculated in accordance with internationally
accepted pricing methodology for the valuation of shares at an arm’s length basis, and a higher (or lower, as
applicable) price per share may not be permitted. We cannot assure investors that any required approval from
the RBI or any other Indian government agency can be obtained on any particular terms, or at all. Further,
due to possible delays in obtaining requisite approvals, investors in the Equity Shares may be prevented from
realizing gains during periods of price increase or limiting losses during periods of price decline.
In addition, pursuant to the Press Note No. 3 (2020 Series), dated April 17, 2020, issued by the DPIIT, which
has been incorporated as the proviso to Rule 6(a) of the FEMA Non-debt Rules, all investments under the
foreign direct investment route by entities of a country or where the beneficial owner of the Equity Shares is
situated in or is a citizen of any such country, can only be made through the Government approval route, as
prescribed in the Consolidated FDI Policy dated October 15, 2020 and the FEMA Rules. While the term
“beneficial owner” is defined under the Prevention of Money-Laundering (Maintenance of Records) Rules,
2005 and the General Financial Rules, 2017, neither the foreign direct investment policy nor the FEMA
Rules provide a definition of the term “beneficial owner”. The interpretation of “beneficial owner” and
enforcement of this regulatory change involves certain uncertainties, which may have an adverse effect on
our ability to raise foreign capital. Further, in the event of transfer of ownership of any existing or future
foreign direct investment in an entity in India, directly or indirectly, resulting in the beneficial ownership
falling within the aforesaid restriction/purview, such subsequent change in the beneficial ownership will also
require approval of the Government of India. These investment restrictions shall also apply to subscribers of
offshore derivative instruments. Additionally, there is uncertainty regarding the timeline within which the
said approval from the GoI may be obtained, if at all.
For further information, see “Restrictions on Foreign Ownership of Indian Securities” on page 424.
80. Fluctuations in the exchange rate between the Indian Rupee and foreign currencies may have an adverse
effect on the value of the Equity Shares, independent of our operating results.
Upon listing, the Equity Shares will be quoted in Indian Rupees on the Stock Exchanges. Any dividends in
respect of the Equity Shares will be paid in Indian Rupees and subsequently converted into appropriate
foreign currency for repatriation. In addition, any adverse movement in exchange rates during a delay in
repatriating the proceeds from a sale of Equity Shares outside India, for example, because of a delay in
regulatory approvals that may be required for the sale of Equity Shares, may reduce the net proceeds received
by shareholders.
81. QIBs and Non-Institutional Bidders are not permitted to withdraw or lower their Bids (in terms of quantity
of Equity Shares or the Bid Amount) at any stage after the submission of their Bid, and Retail Individual
73Bidders, and Eligible Employees Bidding the Employee Reservation Portion are not permitted to withdraw
their Bids after closure of the Bid/ Offer Closing Date.
Pursuant to the SEBI ICDR Regulations, QIBs and NIBs are required to pay the Bid Amount on submission
of the Bid and are not permitted to withdraw or lower their Bids (in terms of quantity of Equity Shares or the
Bid Amount) at any stage after submitting a Bid. Retail Individual Bidders and Eligible Employees Bidding
the Employee Reservation Portion can revise their Bids during the Bid/ Offer Period and withdraw their Bids
until the Bid/ Offer Closing Date. While we are required to complete all necessary formalities for listing and
commencement of trading of the Equity Shares on all Stock Exchanges where such Equity Shares are
proposed to be listed, including Allotment, within three Working Days from the Bid/ Offer Closing Date or
such other period as may be prescribed by the SEBI, events affecting the investors’ decision to invest in the
Equity Shares, including adverse changes in international or national monetary policy, financial, political or
economic conditions, our business, results of operations, cash flows or financial condition may arise between
the date of submission of the Bid and Allotment. We may complete the Allotment of the Equity Shares even
if such events occur, and such events may limit the Investors’ ability to sell the Equity Shares Allotted
pursuant to the Offer or cause the trading price of the Equity Shares to decline on listing.
82. Investors may be restricted in their ability to exercise pre-emptive rights under Indian law and thereby
may suffer future dilution of their ownership position.
Under the Companies Act, a company having share capital and incorporated in India must offer its holders
of equity shares pre-emptive rights to subscribe and pay for a proportionate number of shares to maintain
their existing ownership percentages before the issuance of any new equity shares, unless the pre-emptive
rights have been waived by adoption of a special resolution by holders of three-fourths of the equity shares
voting on such resolution.
However, if the law of the jurisdiction the investors are in, does not permit them to exercise their pre-emptive
rights without our Company filing an offering document or registration statement with the applicable
authority in such jurisdiction, the investors will be unable to exercise their pre-emptive rights unless our
Company makes such a filing. If we elect not to file a registration statement, the new securities may be issued
to a custodian, who may sell the securities for the investor’s benefit. The value such custodian receives on
the sale of such securities and the related transaction costs cannot be predicted. In addition, to the extent that
the investors are unable to exercise pre-emptive rights granted in respect of the Equity Shares held by them,
their proportional interest in our Company would be reduced.
83. Rights of shareholders of companies under Indian law may be more limited than under the laws of other
jurisdictions.
Our Articles of Association, composition of our Board, Indian laws governing our corporate affairs, the
validity of corporate procedures, directors’ fiduciary duties, responsibilities and liabilities, and shareholders’
rights may differ from those that would apply to a company in another jurisdiction. Shareholders’ rights
under Indian law may not be as extensive and wide-spread as shareholders’ rights under the laws of other
countries or jurisdictions. Investors may face challenges in asserting their rights as shareholder of our
Company than as a shareholder of an entity in another jurisdiction.

(3) The initial Allotment to an Eligible Employee in the Employee Reservation Portion shall not exceed ₹ 0.20 million (net of Employee Discount),
however, an Eligible Employee may submit a Bid for a maximum Bid Amount of ₹ 0.50 million under the Employee Reservation Portion. In the
event of under-subscription in the Employee Reservation Portion, the unsubscribed portion will be available for allocation and Allotment,
proportionately to all Eligible Employees who have Bid in excess of ₹ 0.20 million, subject to the maximum value of Allotment made to such
Eligible Employees not exceeding ₹ 0.50 million (net of Employee Discount). The unsubscribed portion, if any, in the Employee Reservation
Portion (after allocation of up to ₹ 0.50 million as applicable, net of Employee Discount), shall be added to the Net Offer. In case of under-
subscription in the Net Offer, spill-over to the extent of such under-subscription shall be permitted from the Employee Reservation
Portion. Further, an Eligible Employee Bidding in the Employee Reservation Portion can also Bid under the Net Offer (i.e. Non-Institutional
Portion or Retail Portion) and such Bids will not be treated as multiple Bids, subject to applicable limits. The Employee Reservation Portion
shall not exceed 5% of our post-Offer paid-up Equity Share capital. Our Company, in consultation with the BRLMs, may offer a discount of up
to [●]% on the Offer Price (equivalent of ₹[●] per Equity Share) to Eligible Employees bidding in the Employee Reservation Portion which shall
be announced two Working Days prior to the Bid/Offer Opening Date. For further details, see the section titled “Offer Structure” on page 391.
(4) Our Company may, in consultation with the BRLMs, allocate up to 60% of the QIB Portion to Anchor Investors on a discretionary basis in
accordance with the SEBI ICDR Regulations. The QIB Portion will accordingly be reduced for the Equity Shares allocated to Anchor Investors
of which 40% of the Anchor Investor Portion shall be reserved within which: (i) 33.33% of the Anchor Investor Portion shall be reserved for
domestic Mutual Funds; and (ii) 6.67% for Life Insurance Companies and Pension Funds, subject to valid Bids being received from domestic
Mutual Funds and Life Insurance Companies and Pension Funds at or above the Anchor Investor Allocation Price. In the event of any under-
subscription or non-allocation in the category of Life Insurance Companies and Pension Funds, the balance Equity Shares shall be added to the
category of domestic Mutual Funds. In the event of under-subscription or non-allocation in the Anchor Investor Portion, the remaining Equity
Shares shall be added to the Net QIB Portion. 5% of the Net QIB Portion shall be available for allocation on a proportionate basis to Mutual
Funds only, and the remainder of the Net QIB Portion shall be available for allocation on a proportionate basis to all QIB Bidders, including
Mutual Funds, subject to valid Bids being received at or above the Offer Price. In the event the aggregate demand from Mutual Funds is less
than as specified above, the balance Equity Shares available for Allotment in the Mutual Fund Portion will be added to the Net QIB Portion and
allocated proportionately to the QIB Bidders in proportion to their Bids. For details, see the section titled “Offer Procedure” on page 397.

^ The percentage of the Equity Share capital on a fully diluted basis has been calculated assuming (i) conversion of outstanding Preference Shares pursuant
to the terms of Preference Shares; and (ii) exercise of vested options under ESOP Scheme, as applicable.
112Our Promoters do not hold any Preference Shares, as on the date of the Draft Red Herring Prospectus.
(iii) All the Equity Shares of face value ₹ 1 each held by our Promoter were fully paid-up on the respective dates of
allotment or acquisition, as applicable.
(iv) Encumbrance on Equity shares
As of the date of the Draft Red Herring Prospectus, none of the Equity shares of our Company held by our Promoters
and members of the Promoter Group are pledged or otherwise encumbered.
(v) Equity Shareholding of the Promoter Group (other than our Promoters)
As on the date of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus, none of the members of our Promoter Group (other than our
Promoters) hold any Equity Shares of our Company.
None of the members of the Promoter Group, the Promoter, the Directors of our Company, nor any of their respective
relatives have purchased or sold any securities of our Company during the period of six months immediately preceding
the date of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus.
There have been no financing arrangements whereby our Promoter, members of the Promoter Group, our Directors
or their relatives have financed the purchase by any other person of securities of our Company, other than in the
normal course of the business of the financing entity during a period of six months immediately preceding the date of
this Draft Red Herring Prospectus.
(vi) Details of minimum Promoters’ contribution and applicable lock in
Pursuant to Regulations 14 and 16 of the SEBI ICDR Regulations, an aggregate of 20% of the fully diluted post-Offer
Equity Share capital of our Company held by our Promoters (assuming full conversion of the vested options, if any,
under the ESOP Scheme and the outstanding Preference Shares) shall be considered as minimum promoter’s
contribution and locked-in for a period of eighteen months or any other period as may be prescribed under applicable
law, from the date of Allotment (“Minimum Promoters’ Contribution”). Our Promoters’ shareholding in excess of
20%, if any, shall be locked in for a period of six months from the date of Allotment.
As on the date of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus, our Promoters hold in aggregate 37,202,720 Equity Shares of
face value ₹ 1 each, equivalent to 25.37 % of the issued, subscribed and paid-up Equity Share capital of our Company
on a fully diluted basis pre-Offer (including Equity Shares which will result upon full conversion of the vested options,
if any, under the ESOP Scheme and conversion of Preference Shares).
Our Promoters have given consent to include such number of Equity Shares of face value ₹ 1 each held by them, in
aggregate, as may constitute up to 20% of the fully diluted post-Offer Equity Share capital of our Company (including
Equity Shares which will result upon full conversion of the vested options, if any, under the ESOP Scheme and
conversion of Preference Shares) as Minimum Promoters’ Contribution. However, since the post-Offer shareholding
of our Promoters will be less than 20% of the post-Offer Equity Share capital of our Company on account of the
dilution due to Fresh Issue and the offer for sale by the Promoters, such post-Offer shareholding of our Promoters will
be less than the shareholding required for complying with Minimum Promoters’ Contribution requirement. In
accordance with Regulation 14 of the SEBI ICDR Regulations, Accel India IV (Mauritius) Ltd., a non-promoter and
a non-individual public shareholder of our Company, has agreed to contribute towards the shortfall in the Minimum
Promoters’ Contribution by way of its consent letter in the following manner:

Shortfall Shares has been intentionally left blank and will be included once the Offer Price is finalized in the
Prospectus to be filed with the RoC.
The PC Shortfall Shares constitute [●] % of the subscribed and paid-up share capital of our Company, on a fully
diluted basis post-Offer, subject to a maximum aggregate contribution of 10% of the post-Offer paid-up equity share
113capital of our Company in terms of Regulation 14 of the SEBI ICDR Regulations. Accel India IV (Mauritius) Ltd.,
which is contributing PC Shortfall Shares is not, and has not been at any time, identified as a Promoter of our
Company. Further, Accel India IV (Mauritius) Ltd., shall not be identified as our Promoter due to its contribution
towards the PC Shortfall Shares.
Our Promoters and our Shareholder, Accel India IV (Mauritius) Ltd., have severally and not jointly agreed not to sell,
transfer, pledge, lien or otherwise encumber in any manner the Equity Shares forming part of the Minimum Promoters’
Contribution from the date of filing of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus, until the expiry of the lock-in period
specified above, except as may be permitted, in accordance with the SEBI ICDR Regulations.
The details of Equity Shares of face value ₹ 1 each held by our Promoters and Accel India IV (Mauritius) Ltd., which

Regulations); and
(iii) Equity Shares that are subject to any pledge or any other form of encumbrance.
Our Company has not been formed by the conversion of one or more partnership firms or a limited liability partnership

Given the nature of our business, and since the amount of the Net Proceeds proposed to be utilized towards the
125Objects are not towards implementing any specific project, we may have to revise our funding requirements and
deployment from time to time, on account of a variety of factors such as our financial condition, business strategies
and external factors such as market conditions, any epidemic, competitive environment and other external factors,

a particular purpose, at the discretion of our management, subject to compliance with applicable laws.
Subject to applicable law, in the event of any increase in the actual utilization of funds earmarked for the purposes
set forth above, such additional funds for a particular activity will be met by way of means available to us,
including from internal accruals and any additional equity and/or debt arrangements. Further, if the actual
utilization towards any of the stated objects is lower than the proposed deployment, the balance remaining may
be utilized towards future growth opportunities, and/or towards funding any other purpose, and/or general
corporate purposes, subject to applicable laws to the extent that the total amount to be utilized towards general
corporate purposes will not exceed 25% of the Gross Proceeds in accordance with the SEBI ICDR Regulations
and in compliance with the objectives as set out under “—Details of the Objects — General corporate purposes”
below and will be consistent with the requirements of our business. The estimated schedule of deployment of Net
Proceeds is indicative, and our management may vary the amount to be utilized in a particular Financial Year at
its discretion.

funding requirements and proposed deployment of Net Proceeds are not appraised by any independent agency
which may affect our business and results of operations.” on page 54.
Details of the Objects
1. Part-funding the working capital requirements of our Company
TravelPlus primarily serves mid-sized and large client enterprises. Such mid-sized and large client
enterprises in India have been accustomed to availing credit from travel services providers, primarily
offline travel agents and TMCs. Accordingly, our Company, through TravelPlus also offers credit terms to
its clients for travel bookings. Separately, on the supply side, the hotel segment is largely fragmented,
especially within the economy hotels segment, barring a few organized operators (primarily hotel chains).
As a result, the availability of supply side credit from hotels and other travel suppliers is limited. This
underlying market structure, where clients expect credit for travel bookings and suppliers typically work
on advance payments or limited credit terms, leads to an ongoing requirement of working capital in our
business. Our working capital requirements have historically been funded through equity investments in
our Company, debt financing availed from banks and other financial institutions. For further information,
see “Financial Indebtedness” on page 325. Additionally, beginning in Fiscal 2025 and in six months period
ended September 30, 2025, we have also funded part of our working capital needs through internal accruals.
We require working capital to manage day-to-day operations and support our business growth. We propose
to utilize up to ₹ 1,350.00 million from the Net Proceeds towards part-funding of our Company’s working
capital requirements. Efficient management of working capital is critical for us to maintain operational
liquidity, capitalize on growth opportunities, and meet our financial obligations seamlessly. We launched
TravelPlus in 2020 to digitize the underserved corporate hotel booking market, leveraging the deep supply-
side expertise gained from managing FabHotels since 2015. Efficient management of working capital is
critical for sustaining business momentum. Over the past fiscals, our Company's working capital
requirements have grown in line with our strategic initiatives to expand market reach, enhance profitability,
and deepen customer relationships, particularly with mid-sized and large client enterprise. Further, our
Company anticipates higher working capital requirements due to expected growth in GTV driven by its
growing focus on the TravelPlus mid-sized and large enterprises. Given that our Company’s customers are
mid-sized and large enterprises in India who generally operate on credit-based arrangements with travel
service providers, involving periodic invoicing and standard payment terms that extend over several weeks,
we believe that additional working capital will provide us the ability to provide them favourable business
terms as we grow our enterprise client base.
(a) Existing working capital requirements of our Company
The details of the existing working capital requirements of our Company as on March 31, 2025, 2024 and
2023 and the funding pattern for such periods, based on our Standalone Audited Financial Statements, are
set out in the table below:

(b) Future working capital requirements
The estimates of working capital requirements for Fiscal 2027 and Fiscal 2028 have been prepared based
on our management’s projections of future financial performance. These estimates are based on
assumptions about future events and management’s actions that may not necessarily occur. Our Company
proposes to utilise ₹ 1,350.00 million (₹ 600.00 million in Fiscal 2027 and ₹ 750.00 million in Fiscal 2028)
of the Net Proceeds towards the estimated working capital requirements. Any remaining working capital
needs shall be met through internal accruals, working capital loans and equity.
The growth in working capital requirements is driven by acquisition of new clients, expansion within
already established client base, investments in enterprise sales teams and our continued investments in our
platform. As we onboard new clients and expand business with existing clients, our trade receivables
increase. Further, as we continue to upgrade our platform architecture, we are required to make payments
to support such upgrade initiatives, including increased spending on third-party integration services, and
platform enhancement work. These investments strengthen our ability to serve our enterprise clients,
support the development of new product features, and deepen engagement across our network of corporate
customers and travel suppliers.
Our continued investments focus on enhancing customer-facing platform capabilities and expanding
backend infrastructure to support scale. These investments enable us to improve user experience, increase
operational efficiency, and strengthen our competitive differentiation as enterprise clients increasingly
prioritize technology-enabled solutions. On the basis of existing and estimated working capital
requirements of our Company and the assumptions for such working capital requirements, our Board
pursuant to its resolution dated December 17, 2025 has approved the projected working capital
requirements for Fiscal 2027 and Fiscal 2028 and the proposed funding of such working capital
requirements, as set forth below:

Justifications to underlying assumptions
Particulars
Current Assets
Trade The Company’s trade receivable days have increased from 24 days in Fiscal 2023 to 30 days in Fiscal 2024
receivables and further to 33 days in Fiscal 2025 due to increasing mix of TravelPlus enterprise business. Trade
receivables days of typical enterprise clients ranges between 40-45 days. The Company has estimated Trade
Receivable of 33 days, 34 days and 35 days of sales at the end of Fiscal 2026, Fiscal 2027, Fiscal 2028,
respectively. The Company expects an increase in credit days in Fiscal 2026 and further in Fiscal 2027 and
Fiscal 2028 mainly due to the strategic focus on and increasing mix of TravelPlus enterprise business going
forward. Medium and large enterprises in India are typically used to a credit-based engagement with travel
service providers, typically involving weekly or fortnightly invoicing cycles and standard payment terms of
up to 30 days which leads to increasing trade receivables.
Other For Fiscal 2023, Fiscal 2024 and Fiscal 2025, the Company had other current assets (including financial assets)
Current days of 9 days, 10 days and 11 days respectively. Basis the expected business activity, the Company has assumed

Current Liabilities
Trade The Company’s trade payable days have decreased from 43 days in Fiscal 2023 to 24 days in Fiscal 2024 and
payables further to 13 days in Fiscal 2025 due to increasing mix of TravelPlus marketplace GTV YoY from non-private
label hotels, which are largely fragmented and typically, do not offer credit to the company. In Fiscal 2023
there was also an exceptionally high credit available due to low occupancies of hotels emerging out of Covid
last wave. The Company has assumed trade payable of 12 days, 12 days and 12 days of Service cost at the
end of Fiscal 2026, Fiscal 2027 and Fiscal 2028, respectively. As the Company has onboarded large number
of suppliers onto its platform in the past three years, the trade payable days have reduced, given that credit is
typically extended only by organized suppliers, whereas a significant portion of hotel partners remain
fragmented or unorganized. Going forward, as the platform GTV continues to grow, Company is constantly
engaging with its supplier partners to secure better credit terms.
Other For Fiscal 2023, Fiscal 2024 and Fiscal 2025, the Company had other current liabilities days of 9 days, 12
current days and 9 days respectively. The Company has assumed Other current liabilities (including financial
liabilities liabilities) days of 7 days, 5 days and 3 days for Fiscal 2026, Fiscal 2027 and Fiscal 2028 respectively. The

2. Repayment and / or Prepayment, in full or in part, of certain borrowings availed by our Company
Our Company has entered into various borrowing arrangements with banks and financial institutions, which
include borrowings in the form of, inter alia, working capital facilities, cash credit and non-convertible
debentures. For further details, including indicative terms and conditions, see “Financial Indebtedness –
Principal terms of the subsisting borrowings availed by our Company” on page 325. As on November 30,
2025, the aggregate outstanding borrowings of our Company is ₹ 784.26 million. Our Company may avail
further loans after the date of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus. For disclosure of borrowings, see “Restated
Financial Information” on page 260.
As approved by our Board at its meeting held on December 17, 2025, our Company proposes to utilise an
estimated amount of up to ₹ 450.00 million from the Net Proceeds towards repayment/ prepayment of certain
borrowings availed by our Company. Pursuant to the terms of the borrowing arrangements prepayment of
certain indebtedness may attract prepayment charges as prescribed by the respective lender. Additionally, our
Company may avail additional facilities, repay certain instalments of our borrowings and/ or draw down
further funds under existing borrowing facilities, from time to time, after the filing of this Draft Red Herring
Prospectus. Accordingly, our Company may utilise the Net Proceeds for repayment/prepayment of any such
refinanced facilities (including any prepayment fees or penalties thereon) or any additional facilities obtained
by our Company. Such repayment or prepayment will help reduce our outstanding indebtedness and debt
servicing costs and enable utilization of the internal accruals for further investment towards business growth
and expansion. In addition, we believe that this may also improve our ability to raise further resources in the
future to fund potential business development opportunities.
In light of the above, if at the time of filing the Red Herring Prospectus, any of the below mentioned loans are
repaid in part or full or refinanced or if any additional credit facilities are availed or drawn down or if the
limits under the working capital borrowings are increased, then the table below shall be suitably revised to
reflect the revised amounts or loans as the case may be which have been availed by our Company. Also see,
“Risk Factors - We have incurred indebtedness and an inability to comply with repayment and other
covenants in our financing agreements could adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial
condition and cash flows.” on page 56.
The repayment/prepayment of the loans shall be based on various factors including (i) commercial
considerations including, among others, the interest rate on the loan facility, the amount of the loan
outstanding and the remaining tenor of the loan (ii) any conditions attached to the borrowings restricting our
ability to prepay the borrowings and time taken to fulfil such requirements, (iii) levy of any prepayment
penalties and the quantum thereof, and (iv) provisions of any law, rules, regulations governing such
borrowings. The following tables set forth details of the borrowings drawn down by our Company, which we
propose to repay/prepay, all or in part, from the Net Proceeds:

1303. General corporate purposes

and expenditure on technology team, strengthening our cloud infrastructure including deployment of
AI/ML across operations, upgrading our underlying technology systems, augmenting our security,

138Description on the historic use of the KPIs by us to analyse, track or monitor our operational and/or
financial performance
In evaluating our business, we consider and use certain KPIs, as stated above, as a supplemental measure to
review and assess our financial and operating performance. The presentation of these KPIs is not intended
to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the Restated Financial Information. We use these KPIs to
evaluate our financial and operating performance. Some of these KPIs are not defined under Ind AS and are
not presented in accordance with Ind AS. These KPIs have limitations as analytical tools. Further, these
KPIs may differ from the similar information used by other companies and hence their comparability may
be limited. Therefore, these metrics should not be considered in isolation or construed as an alternative to
Ind AS measures of performance or as an indicator of our operating performance, liquidity or results of
operation. Although these KPIs are not a measure of performance calculated in accordance with applicable
accounting standards, our management believes that it provides an additional tool for investors to use in
evaluating our ongoing operating results and trends and in comparing our financial results with other

inclusion programs like PMJDY, and Digital India initiative. Advancements in technology and digital
infrastructure, and a youthful workforce are boosting productivity and innovation. India's strategic emphasis on
manufacturing, services, and export sectors, along with rising foreign investment and deeper global economic
integration, will further accelerate this growth trajectory.
149In CY 2025, global GDP per capita income expected to reach U.S.$ 14,213.3, while India’s at U.S.$ 2,878.5
and is expected to witness the fastest growth among major economies, with a CAGR of 9.2% from CY
2025E to 2030P
According to the International Monetary Fund ("IMF"), global GDP per capita expected to reach at U.S.$ 14,213.3
in CY 2025 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.0%, reaching U.S.$ 17,271.9 by CY 2030, driven by sustained
public and private investments in infrastructure, education, healthcare, and technology. India's per capita income
is expected to rise from U.S.$ 2,878.5 in CY 2025 to U.S.$ 4,468.5 by CY 2030, growing at a CAGR of 9.2%.
The growth in GDP per capita is attributed to strong manufacturing, higher agricultural output, and robust
government spending, making it the fastest-growing major economy, followed by China (6.3%), the United
Kingdom ("UK") (4.6%), the United States of America ("USA") (3.4%), and Germany (3.2%).
In Fiscal 2025, the financial, real estate and professional services segment was the highest contributor to
Gross Value Added ("GVA") in India at 23.8%, followed by trade, transport and related services at 18.5%
In Fiscal 2025, the financial, real estate and professional services segment was the highest contributor to GVA in
India at 23.8%, followed by trade, hotel, transport, and related services at 18.5% and manufacturing at 17.2%. In
Fiscal 2019, the financial, real estate and professional services segment was the highest contributor to GDP at
21.3% followed by trade, transport, and related services at 19.9% and manufacturing at 18.3%.
150Demographic profiles driving India’s economic growth
The working-age demographic, encompassing individuals aged 15 to 64, has consistently represented a
significant majority between CY 2019 to CY 2024
In CY 2019, the population stood at 1.38 billion, increasing to 1.44 billion in CY 2024. By CY 2030, it is projected
to reach 1.51 billion, further emphasising India's demographic advantage with a young and dynamic workforce
poised to drive economic growth. The working-age group (15 to 64 years) remains dominant, making up 67% to
68% of the population during CY 2019 to 2024, while the child (0 to 14 years) and elderly (64+ years) groups
represent 25% to 27% and 6% to 7%, respectively. The 15 to 64 years age group has the highest percentage split
and expected to grow to approximately 69% of total India’s population by CY 2030. The size of India’s workforce
is a major competitive advantage as the country tries to become a high consumption / spender. This expanding
working-age base in India is driving corporate travel, a trajectory that will further accelerate as the workforce
increasingly seeks business engagement, client interactions and connectivity.
India’s labour force participation rose from 53.5% in Fiscal 2020 to 60.1% in Fiscal 2024, before falling to
56.2% in Fiscal 2025, reflecting shifts in workforce engagement and economic activity
151India’s labour force participation rate ("LFPR") rose from 53.5% in Fiscal 2020 to 60.1% in Fiscal 2024, driven
by expanding urban job opportunities and a boost in formal sector hiring. The decline in Fiscal 2025 may point to
a mix of factors like a slowdown in job creation, changing workforce aspirations, or temporary disengagement
from the labour market. Despite the dip, LFPR remains higher than pre-pandemic levels, indicating a more
economically engaged population overall. A larger and more engaged workforce not only increases the number
of employees traveling for client meetings, training, and inter-office collaboration, which in turn increases the
demand for corporate travel.
The total active companies registered in India has increased from 1,248.9K in Fiscal 2020 to 1,761.8K in
Fiscal 2025 showing a consistent annual growth in corporate registrations
As of Fiscal 2025, the number of active Indian companies registered under Ministry of Corporate Affairs ("MCA")
stands at 1,761.8K, recording the highest level to date. It is projected to grow till 2,158.8K by Fiscal 2030,
indicating a strong upward trajectory in corporate formalisation. The consistent year-on-year growth in corporate
travel reflects a maturing business ecosystem, supported by rising entrepreneurship and greater access to
formalisation. Currently, large enterprises are the main users of structured travel management platforms because
their operations are more complex, with multiple locations, higher travel volumes, and strict compliance needs.
As smaller and mid-sized companies expand and formalise, they are also expected to adopt similar travel solutions
to manage trips,. this shift will lead to wider adoption of organised corporate travel management across the
country.

2030P, driven by technology-enabled managed travel, resurgence of in-person engagement, and business
expansion across domestic and international markets
The Indian corporate travel sector (excluding MICE) was valued at ₹ 3.6 trillion in Fiscal 2025, with the hotel
segment representing 34% of the total market and 55% of the market's profit pool. The sector is underpinned by
robust structural growth drivers, including India's high-growth, manufacturing-led economy where corporate
travel spending has historically expanded at approximately 1.5x the pace of GDP growth. The market is projected
to nearly triple from ₹ 2.6 trillion in Fiscal 2020 to ₹ 6.9 trillion by Fiscal 2030P, supported by sustained economic
expansion, a rapidly growing workforce, renewed emphasis on face-to-face business engagement, the
development of corporate corridors beyond metropolitan centres, accelerating globalisation of Indian enterprises,

• Expanding workforce base: India's growing working-age population and rising corporate employment
levels are driving higher business activity volumes, creating sustained demand for corporate travel
services and sophisticated travel management platforms that can scale with organisational growth.
• Renewed emphasis on in-person business engagement: Post-pandemic market dynamics have
reinforced the strategic value of face-to-face interactions for relationship building, complex negotiations,
deal closure, and professional networking, positioning corporate travel management platforms as
essential business infrastructure rather than discretionary spending.
• Development of new corporate corridors: Business expansion beyond traditional metros is being
driven by manufacturing clusters, specialised Information Technology ("IT") parks, and industrial
corridors, particularly benefiting sectors like automotive, pharmaceuticals, and electronics that are
establishing significant operations in tier-2/3 cities, thereby expanding the geographic scope and
frequency of corporate travel requirements. In parallel, rising private equity investments are fuelling
company expansion and driving greater business travel across regions.
• Accelerating globalisation of Indian corporates: Increasing international partnerships, cross-border
trade participation, foreign direct investments, and overseas market expansion are fuelling both domestic
connectivity travel and outbound international business travel, creating demand for comprehensive
global travel management solutions. Alongside, the ongoing shift of enterprises from unorganised to
organised structures is bringing more businesses under structured travel frameworks, expanding the
corporate travel base.
• Comprehensive connectivity infrastructure expansion: Strategic government initiatives including
UDAN's 625+ new regional routes, substantial airport capacity additions, and extensive transport
network development are dramatically improving accessibility to both established and emerging business
destinations. Notable achievements in CY 2024 include 5,614 km of new national highways, 3,433 km
of railway network expansion, and growth in operational airports from 126 in CY 2020 to 159 in CY
2024.
Key trends: Adoption of integrated travel platforms, global expansion driving cross-border travel, and
compliance-focused solutions are transforming India’s corporate travel landscape
India's corporate travel industry is undergoing significant transformation through the widespread adoption of
integrated technology platforms that consolidate booking processes, automate policy enforcement, and streamline
itinerary management. Several market trends accelerate adoption of corporate travel platforms. The accelerating
global expansion of Indian enterprises is driving substantial growth in both domestic connectivity travel and
international business trips, while enterprises are increasingly prioritising Goods and Service Tax ("GST")-
compliant invoicing systems, automated expense reconciliation, and real-time analytics dashboards that deliver
enhanced cost control, operational transparency, regulatory compliance, and employee satisfaction.
159India’s hotel inventory is growing at a CAGR of 5.3%, with branded supply keeping pace with demand,
supported by strong growth in travel, infrastructure, and consumer spending
India’s hotel landscape spans the full spectrum from luxury and upscale resorts to midscale, budget hotels,
serviced apartments, and alternative accommodations, managed by a blend of leading domestic chains and global
hospitality brands. While the variety is vast, the organised, branded segment still constitutes a modest share of the
total room supply, highlighting significant potential for formalisation, quality enhancement, and brand
penetration. The Indian hospitality and travel sector typically exhibits distinct seasonality, with the second half of
the Fiscal year (H2: October to March) generally outperforming the first half (H1: April to September).
India’s hospitality sector offers 3.5 million rooms across hotels, budget chains, alternative stays, aggregator chains
and unbranded supply, and this capacity expected to grow due to:
160• Strong domestic tourism and an expanding aspirational middle class with higher discretionary spending.
• Rising corporate travel and MICE activity, supported by manufacturing growth and industrial activity.
• Rapid emergence of new travel hubs, aided by enhanced air, rail, and road connectivity.
• Increased investments by both global and local operators through asset-light models such as management
contracts and franchising.
Over the medium term, branded hotels are expected to capture a greater share of the market, supported by robust
economic growth, sustained infrastructure investment, and a healthy pipeline of leisure and corporate-focused
developments. The sector’s outlook is further strengthened by rising inbound tourism, government-led tourism
promotion, and increasing consumer preference for standardised, quality-assured hospitality experiences.
India's corporate travel market is characterised by significant supply fragmentation and operational challenges.
The economy hotel segment represents 69% of corporate hotel demand in India but remains 95% unbranded and
fragmented, with properties typically owned by individual operators with varying hospitality expertise. This
creates significant challenges for corporate travelers and enterprises seeking consistent service quality,
particularly in tier 2/3 cities where hotel supply is most fragmented. This fragmented landscape creates unique
market dynamics that necessitate sophisticated hotel supply management and quality assurance mechanisms to
deliver the consistent service standards and reliability that corporate travellers require. The predominance of
independent properties underscores the critical need for technology platforms that can aggregate, standardise, and
manage this dispersed supply base effectively.
Customer journey for corporate travel management
The traditional corporate travel management process is often cumbersome and time-consuming, with
significant challenges in policy compliance, GST invoicing, and end-to-end visibility that can cost
enterprises 10% to 25% in operational inefficiencies and compliance losses
Corporate travel management serves as a critical operational function that transforms fragmented, manual
processes into streamlined workflows encompassing travel bookings, approval management, and expense
tracking. Beyond financial oversight, effective travel management directly impacts employee productivity,
operational efficiency, and regulatory compliance, making it a strategic enabler rather than merely an
administrative function. With increasing business travel demands, an effective corporate travel management
strategy is essential, as it simplifies booking processes, provides access to an extensive travel inventory, offers
AI-powered recommendations and helps companies gain better visibility into spending, ensure tax compliance,
and make informed decisions through actionable real-time insights derived from data-driven analytics.
161The traditional corporate travel management journey (which includes the use of point Software as a Service
("SaaS") and manual solutions) involves multiple stakeholders and follows a multi-stage process, from request
initiation to post-trip analysis. Currently, approximately 95% of corporate travel is managed through such
traditional systems, which are cumbersome and error-prone, with limited inventory and weak compliance support,
making them difficult to scale. It typically spans six key stages that define how companies manage business travel
today.
Request initiation: Employees submit travel requests with forms and documents for approval, usually handled
offline or via email, causing delays and lowering productivity.
Managerial approval: Managers review requests against company policies, approving or suggesting changes.
Without automation and real-time recommendations, the process is slow, and approvals are often delayed.
Bookings: Admin team coordinates with vendors to compare options, negotiate, and confirm bookings, mostly
via calls or emails, resulting in back-and-forth communication and delays.
Expense submission: After a trip, employees compile expense reports by categorising costs, attaching receipts,
and mapping them to project codes. Without automation, this requires extra manual effort.
Claim verification: Admin team verifies documents, checks policy compliance, and approves claims.
Fragmented workflows and policy mismatches often delay reimbursements.
Reports generation & analysis: Admin team handles bookkeeping, audits, and reporting. Without centralised
data, these processes become difficult.
The corporate travel management platform industry is highly fragmented, with multiple point solutions
and suppliers, creating a strong need for an end-to-end corporate travel management solution
A business can manage its travel needs through different booking methods or by using a combination of options.
End-to-end corporate travel management platforms integrate all stages of the travel management process into a
single, cohesive system, streamlining operations and automating workflows to enable faster processing and higher
policy compliance.
Point SaaS solutions ("OTAs") support functions like request initiation, approvals, expense submission,
verification, and report generation. However, bookings often still require self-booking or travel agents, as these
solutions typically do not have their own inventory. Managing a single trip with SaaS solutions often involves
multiple tools and vendors, including separate systems for bookings, expense management, reporting, duty of
care, itinerary management, payments and other functions. Some businesses still rely on manual processes, such
as using emails and spreadsheets for requests, approvals, claims, and report generation. These methods are slower,
prone to errors, and have a low level of policy compliance, as they increase the risk of fraud or human error.
Additionally, such manual and point SaaS solution systems become more costly for the company, especially as
travel frequency rises with business growth.
The choice of corporate travel management method largely depends on the volume of travel, scale of operations,
and complexity of policies and GST compliance. For large and medium-sized companies, where travel operations
are extensive and complex, an end-to-end corporate travel management solution is the most suitable option. In
162contrast, small and micro-sized companies usually rely on a mix of software tools, travel agents, and manual
methods like emails and spreadsheets, given their lower travel volumes and simpler requirements.
Traditional corporate travel management systems are fragmented and inefficient, leading to delays and
increased costs, underscoring the urgent need for integrated and automated solutions
Despite its central role in business operations, traditional corporate travel management remains characterised by
higher costs, operational inefficiencies and systemic fragmentation. The industry's reliance on point solutions and
disconnected travel agencies forces administrative teams to navigate multiple platforms while coordinating with
various vendors offering limited inventory coverage. This fragmentation creates significant operational overhead,
requiring travel administrators to manage complex stakeholder relationships across employees, approving
managers, and vendors, many of whom have shifted to automated support systems that often complicate rather
than streamline communication. Integration with existing systems is also complex, typically taking anywhere
from 45 days to 5 months, further delaying adoption and productivity gains. On top of this, multi-level approval
systems are the norm, with multiple stakeholders involved in decision-making, making the process lengthy and
time-consuming. As a result, a travel admin manager’s life is very hectic due to coordination with multiple
stakeholders such as travel vendors (who have replaced humans with chatbots, which makes conversation even
more difficult), employees, approving managers, admin team etc.
Traditional corporate travel management platforms are inefficient, underscoring the urgent need for integrated
and automated solutions. Traditional solutions fall into two categories, each with critical limitations for corporate
hotel management. Traditional travel management companies and offline travel agents provide relationship-driven
service but lack enterprise-grade technology for workflow automation, policy compliance enforcement, real-time
analytics, and Enterprise Resource Planning ("ERP") / Human Resource Management Systems ("HRMS")
integration. While some travel management companies have limited economy hotel supply, they lack on-ground
hotel operations expertise to active manage service quality or resolve issues rapidly across fragmented supply.
Large consumer-focused online travel companies, including their business-to-business ("B2B") offerings,
optimise their platforms for business-to-consumer transactions, prioritising transaction volume and self-service
booking experiences. While these platforms excel at consumer functionalities, they lack the service infrastructure
enterprises require dedicated relationship managers, 24×7 human concierge, bespoke implementations, and active
hotel supplier management. TravelPlus seeks to address these gaps by offering a technology-enabled corporate
travel platform that provides round-the-clock support, GST-compliant invoicing, bespoke invoice formats, audit-
ready documentation, ERP integrations, and real-time analytics for corporates.
Modern corporate travel management platforms offer unified and automated workflows that streamline
customer support, simplify GST and tax compliance, and enable customised policy enforcement
The inefficiencies of traditional corporate travel management processes have created a pressing need for
streamlined solutions. As a result, there has been a growing shift towards technology-based corporate travel
management platforms that unify the travel management process into a single, cohesive system, which also helps
163in GST compliant invoicing, real-time analytics, and automated expense management. They enable organisations
to move away from fragmented workflows and embrace a streamlined approach.
This shift is reflected in how corporate travel is now managed, with each stage increasingly digitised and
interconnected. The process typically starts when employees initiate travel requests using digital forms embedded
with company travel policies. Managers are instantly notified of these requests and can approve or reject them
through integrated workflows, supported by real-time access to travel policies and budgets. Once approved,
employees or admin teams can make bookings directly through the platform, leveraging a curated inventory of
flights and hotels. These booking tools offer real-time price comparisons and enforce travel policy constraints,
ensuring that bookings remain within budget.
After completing the trip, employees can digitally submit their expenses by scanning receipts and categorising
spends using mobile apps. The platform supports GST customised invoicing, ensuring tax compliance and
accuracy. The claim verification process is equally streamlined, as admin teams receive digitally verified claims
with all supporting documents, allowing them to validate the claims quickly and accurately.
Lastly, all the data is centralised, enabling admin teams to conduct detailed audits, generate insights, and track
spending patterns in real time. This end-to-end automation provides increased flexibility to support evolving
business needs across locations and teams, reducing administrative burden and enabling travel managers to act as
strategic partners and value creators for their organisations, gaining complete control of the process workflows.
164An end-to-end corporate travel platform delivers measurably superior outcomes: 95% policy compliance
rates (vs 50% to 70% traditional), 1 to 2 hour processing times (vs 2 to3 days), and 10% to 20% cost savings
through consolidated booking fees and negotiated rates. Enterprise customers report additional savings of
approximately 10% in GST credit recovery compared to platforms lacking proper invoicing capabilities
End-to-end corporate travel management platforms deliver measurable operational advantages that directly impact
business performance: enhanced policy compliance rates, accelerated booking and approval cycles, reduced
administrative coordination, automated GST-compliant invoicing, transparent pricing mechanisms, and
comprehensive hotel supply access. With an end-to-end platform, the entire process can be completed in 1 to 2
hours, compared to 2 to 3 days with traditional processes. Manual intervention is required in less than 5% to 10%
of bookings, while non-compliant expense submissions reduce from 15% to 25% to just 2% to 5% after adoption
of an end-to-end platform. Before adoption, check-in denial rates average 1% to 2% and escalation rates range
between 1% to 6% depending on the organisation. Beyond digitization, GST compliance has become a strategic
urgency. Enterprises using traditional booking methods face approximately 10% credit leakage due to improper
invoicing, while platforms providing automated GST-compliant invoicing deliver immediate Return on
Investment ("ROI") through credit recovery - transforming travel management from a booking convenience into
an essential financial tool. After adopting an end-to-end platform, such issues are very rare, occurring less than
1% of the time. Additionally, while traditional booking processes typically cost businesses ₹ 12 to ₹ 17 per
booking (airline, hotels, cab, etc.), end-to-end systems offer a single transaction fee at consolidated bookings
instead of per booking, coupled with negotiated rates, enabling businesses to achieve 10% to 20% cost savings
within the first year of adoption. Traditional travel management companies have limited economy hotel coverage
and lack on-ground hotel operations expertise to actively manage service quality at scale, while consumer-focused
online travel companies display open marketplace listings without active supplier management or hotel operations
capabilities, leaving corporate travelers to navigate quality inconsistencies independently.
165For large businesses, it is essential to adopt an end-to-end corporate travel management platform, given
the scale of their operations and the complexity of travel involved
As traveller volumes grow, the complexity of managing corporate travel rises exponentially. Large businesses, in
particular, face the challenge of managing hundreds of employees across multiple locations, ensuring adherence
to compliance requirements, and maintaining efficiency at scale. Fortune 2000 companies are increasingly
adopting digitisation and automation, while expecting consumer-like experiences from business software.
166Due to these complex requirements, it is essential for large businesses to adopt an end-to-end corporate travel
management platform. Such a solution provides features like customised workflows, end-to-end visibility, policy
compliance, customised GST invoices, and advanced analytics to effectively address the unique challenges of
large enterprises.
GST-compliant invoicing, comprehensive reporting capabilities, dedicated support team, check-in denials
and inventory coverage are the key purchasing criteria for businesses when selecting a travel management
solution
While businesses increasingly seek efficient travel management solutions, they face operational, technical, and
logistical hurdles in adopting modern platforms. Choosing the right partner requires evaluating a corporate travel
management platform’s capabilities, reliability, and alignment with business objectives.
Many businesses are yet to adopt modern travel management platforms due to a lack of awareness and the
additional effort required to train employees
Key barriers for companies in adopting modern corporate travel management solutions include:
167• Lack of awareness and trust: Many businesses remain unaware of comprehensive platforms, which
unify travel booking, expense reporting, policy compliance, and analytics in one system. Additionally,
they are often sceptical about the authenticity of online platforms, as these require them to share business-
related information. As a result, new entrants face significant challenges establishing credibility with
risk-averse enterprise buyers without proven track records and reference clients.
• Employee retraining: Employees and other stakeholders may be comfortable with existing tools and
reluctant to adopt new processes. Training staff to use new technologies effectively can be a challenge
and businesses must invest time and resources in training programs to utilise them to their full potential.
• Complex processes: The booking process for online platforms can be complex and confusing for some
people. The multiple steps involved, along with the wide range of available options, can overwhelm
users. This complexity often causes decision-makers to postpone or avoid transitioning altogether.
• Creation of standard operating procedure ("SOP"): Developing and maintaining detailed SOPs to
guide employees on approval processes, documentation requirements, and timelines can be resource-
intensive. Inadequate or unclear SOPs lead to confusion, delays, and increased non-compliance risks.
Unlike non-corporate travellers, corporate travellers require an extensive and reliable hotel supply that
ensures standardised quality and GST-compliant invoices
Unlike consumer travel, corporate travel demands zero tolerance for accommodation failures that can disrupt
business-critical meetings and client engagements. India's hotel market fragmentation with 95% of economy
inventory remaining unbranded, creates unique operational challenges requiring active supply management rather
than passive aggregation.
Additionally, hotel bookings remain a persistent pain point for corporate travel management platforms due to
limited access to quality hotel inventory. A significant portion of the supply is dominated by unbranded
accommodations. India’s lodging market is heavily skewed towards the unbranded segment. This segment is
highly fragmented, with limited standardisation and often minimal adherence to professional protocols. The
booking process is often unreliable and unprofessional, with common issues such as mismatches between listings
and actual conditions, check-in denials, subpar service, lack of GST compliance, and incorrect invoicing.
168Corporate travel managers consistently identify hotel supply reliability as their primary platform selection
criterion, ahead of even pricing considerations. This requirement has created a clear competitive moat for
platforms with direct hotel operations expertise.
By directly managing or partnering on hotel supply, corporate travel management platforms can ensure
consistency in employee experience through uniform service quality across trips, maintain quality standardisation
across locations to guarantee minimum service levels in every city, and deliver greater reliability in business-
critical travel by reducing the risk of disruptions that could affect key meetings or client engagements. Corporate
travel platforms with direct hotel operations experience possess distinct advantages in managing supply quality
and reliability. This hands-on operational expertise enables better vendor relationship management, enhanced
quality control protocols, and more effective resolution of accommodation issues. Platforms like TravelPlus, that
leverage such operational knowledge typically achieve superior customer experience.
Corporate hotel booking faces major gaps across financial processes and on-ground operations, ranging from GST
leakages, low spend visibility, manual errors, and fragmented vendors to check-in denials, unverified properties,
slow issue handling, and weak duty-of-care support, leading to higher costs and inconsistent employee experience.
A full-stack provider such as TravelPlus bridges the shortcomings of both traditional agencies and SaaS
players by delivering automation, compliance, and hotel supply expertise in a single solution
In past India’s corporate travel management players largely fall into two camps, traditional agencies that depend
on manual corporate travel processes with limited visibility, often leading to a 5% to 18% loss of eligible GST
credits, along with limited audit trails and insufficient reporting and analytics capabilities. SaaS platforms,
including OTAs as one type of point SaaS solution, digitise workflows but lack depth in inventory supply,
compliance features, and on-ground hotel operations expertise, often struggling to provide a satisfactory
experience. Both categories leave enterprises struggling with incomplete solutions that do not fully address their
operational or employee needs. However, platforms like TravelPlus stand apart as a full-stack provider that brings
the best of both process and stay capabilities together.

expansion of travel connectivity, and technology-driven efficiencies. Some of the key Indian players providing
corporate travel management solutions include TravelPlus, MyBiz by MakeMyTrip, Yatra B2B.
173Key market drivers: Demand for automated tax compliance, need for customisable workflows, and the
need for faster processes are fuelling the Indian corporate travel management platform market
India’s corporate travel management platform market is undergoing a rapid transformation, shifting from manual,
siloed processes to digitally integrated platforms. The market’s evolution is being fuelled by rising demand for
automated tax compliance, the need for customisable workflows, and the need for faster processes, positioning
travel management platforms as a strategic tool for business performance rather than a mere administrative
function.
• Demand for automated tax compliance: Indian businesses routinely miss claimable input tax credit on
travel. Automated real-time bookkeeping keeps business transaction records updated, streamlined, and
ready for reference, ensuring that businesses have access to invoices in real time.
• Need for customisable workflows: Larger organisations face complex approval workflows and slower
approval and booking processes. Customisable workflows allow businesses to define approvers, enabling
smooth functioning. Additionally, the ability to provide bespoke invoice formats tailored to internal
requirements ensures smoother compliance with company processes.
• Faster processes with technology integration: Corporate travel platforms are embedding advanced
technologies, Machine Learning ("ML") predicts bookings and disruptions, AI delivers insights and
enforces policies, and Optical Character Recognition ("OCR") enables instant reimbursements, driving
strong demand for these solutions.
• Need for end-to-end visibility: Real-time dashboards and analytics provide actionable insights into
travel spend and policy compliance, support better decision-making, and help minimise human errors
and detect potential fraud.
• Enhanced employee experience and productivity: Seamless booking, fast reimbursements, and easy
access to travel policies not only enhance satisfaction and adherence to corporate travel guidelines but
also free employees to focus on core tasks, increasing overall productivity.
In Fiscal 2025, BFSI led the Indian corporate travel management platform market at ₹ 1.3 trillion, followed
by IT services and manufacturing at ₹ 0.8 trillion and 0.5 trillion respectively
Banking, Financial Services, and Insurance ("BFSI") represents the largest opportunity at ₹ 1.3 trillion in Fiscal
2025, projected to grow to ₹ 2.3 trillion by Fiscal 2030. IT services contributed ₹ 0.8 trillion in Fiscal 2025 and is
projected to grow to ₹ 1.7 trillion by Fiscal 2030. Manufacturing and pharma together represented ₹ 0.7 trillion in
Fiscal 2025, expanding to ₹ 1.5 trillion by Fiscal 2030. These sectors are characterised by large employee bases,
frequent business travel requirements, and increasing emphasis on travel policy compliance and cost optimization.
174Beyond these industries, segments such as manufacturing, consumer & retail, and telecom industries, along with
other industries such as automotive, infrastructure & real estate, chemicals, textiles, oil & gas, energy & utilities
etc. are also expanding, supported by the need for greater in-person collaborations across geographies and growing
investment in new markets.
In Fiscal 2025, large & medium businesses accounted for ₹ 2.3 trillion of the Indian corporate travel
management platform market and are expected to grow at a CAGR of 14.4% during Fiscal 2025 to Fiscal
2030P
The Indian corporate travel management platform market is projected to grow from ₹ 3.6 trillion in Fiscal 2025
to ₹ 6.9 trillion by Fiscal 2030 at a CAGR of 13.7%. Within this market, large & medium businesses with revenue
greater than ₹ 5,000 million accounted for ₹ 2.3 trillion in Fiscal 2025 and are projected to grow to ₹ 4.5 trillion
by Fiscal 2030P, registering a CAGR of 14.4%. Many of these enterprises continue using traditional travel
management companies, offline agents, or fragmented booking approaches that lack comprehensive workflow
automation and service infrastructure. This growth will be supported by the increasing adoption of corporate travel
management platforms that offer bespoke invoice formats, customisable workflows, real-time spend analytics,
and other advanced features. It will also be driven by multi-city operations, global travel requirements, and rising
investments in premium hotels and airlines for senior executives. Micro & small businesses are also expected to
grow from ₹ 1.3 trillion in Fiscal 2025 to ₹ 2.4 trillion in Fiscal 2030P at a CAGR of 12.5%. This growth will be
supported by pan-India expansion, formalised travel policies, and the growing "bleisure" trend where employees
extend business trips for personal travel or value access to corporate negotiated rates for their personal trips with
hotel chains, along with wider adoption of corporate travel management platforms.
175In Fiscal 2025, the hotel segment held the largest share of the Indian corporate travel management platform
market at ₹ 1.3 trillion, followed by airline segment at ₹ 1.1 trillion
The Indian corporate travel market, covering hotels, airlines, and ancillary spends, is expanding steadily on the
back of increasing business travel, global connectivity, and demand for premium services. The hotel segment is
expected to rise from ₹ 1.3 trillion in Fiscal 2025 to ₹ 2.6 trillion in Fiscal 2030P, at a CAGR of 15.9%. Despite
having the largest share in Fiscal 2025, the hotel segment remains highly fragmented, creating a substantial
untapped opportunity for corporate travel management platforms by combining this fragmented supply and
bringing this under one system for corporates. The need for more standardised and quality hotels, along with rising
digital adoption, and stronger vendor partnerships, hotels are positioned to emerge as a key growth driver within
India’s corporate travel management platform market. The corporate airline segment is set to grow from ₹ 1.1
trillion in Fiscal 2025 to ₹ 2.2 trillion in Fiscal 2030P, at a CAGR of 13.5%. Other spends (including cabs,
railways, etc.) are expected to grow from ₹ 1.2 trillion in Fiscal 2025 to ₹ 2.1 trillion in Fiscal 2030P, at a CAGR
of 11.6%, reflecting the growing importance of integrated travel solutions for businesses.
For corporate travel management platforms, hotels are more profitable, with gross margins of 8-10%,
compared to 3% to 5% in airlines
176Currently, for corporate travel management platforms, the hotel segment delivers higher gross margins of 8% to
10%, compared to 3% to 5% for the airline segment. Corporate hotel booking presents fundamentally different
operational requirements than air travel management, where platforms primarily facilitate standardized airline
inventory. Hotels - particularly in the economy segment - involve fragmented supply across independent
properties with varying service standards, requiring active supplier management, quality vetting, and rapid issue
resolution that air travel platforms do not require. This operational intensity creates higher barriers to entry but
also supports stronger unit economics: hotel bookings deliver significantly higher gross margins than air travel
due to fragmented supply, and the value enterprises place on service reliability in fragmented markets. The
combination of operational complexity and superior economics makes corporate hotel management a defensible,
high-margin business that differs fundamentally from commodity air travel facilitation. Despite these attractive
market characteristics, India’s corporate hotel booking market remains underserved. This structural gap is driven
by fundamental differences in business models and cost structures. Hotels typically allow online travel platforms
to earn higher commissions per booking because of the level of service component involved. The service
components associated with hotel segment are comparatively higher as there is flexibility in room pricing, and
platforms can also generate revenue from value-added services such as room upgrades, meals, and other amenities.
In addition, these platforms help hotels by increasing visibility through association with a recognised brand,
driving higher occupancy rates, improving inventory management, and enhancing the overall quality of offerings
by incorporating corporate-standard SOPs. As a result, hotels achieve higher take rates and occupancy, and the
incremental margin is passed on to platforms, further strengthening their margins in the hotel segment. In contrast,
airline ticketing is largely constrained by high operational costs which impacts their margin.
Massive digitisation opportunity in corporate hotel bookings creates compelling market expansion runway
for technology-enabled platforms
Despite strong growth in corporate travel, hotel booking within India’s corporate travel management platform
ecosystem continues to face significant operational and structural challenges that limit efficiency, cost
optimisation, and traveller experience.
• Accelerating offline-to-online migration creating market expansion runway: India's corporate hotel
booking market is at an inflection point. Online penetration stands at just 20% to 25% in Fiscal 2025
versus 85% to 90% for railways and 70% to 75% for airlines, reflecting massive untapped opportunity
as enterprises demand the operational efficiency, cost transparency, and compliance capabilities that only
digital platforms can deliver. The migration from traditional travel agents to integrated technology
solutions creates substantial market expansion for platforms with comprehensive hotel supply and
operational expertise. Early-moving platforms with comprehensive hotel supply and operational
expertise are positioned to capture disproportionate share as this transition accelerates. As enterprises
migrate from traditional agents to platforms offering automated compliance, workflow management and
spend transparency, this digitization gap represents a significant market opportunity.
• Tier-2/3 city expansion driving demand for standardised accommodation solutions: Corporate
travel growth beyond metropolitan centres creates substantial demand for reliable, quality-assured
accommodation options that independent hotels and traditional agents cannot deliver consistently. This
geographic expansion represents a greenfield opportunity for platforms capable of aggregating,
standardising, and managing fragmented regional supply. The complexity of ensuring service quality
across diverse markets creates natural barriers to entry that benefit platforms with deep hotel operations
expertise.
• Budget segment concentration enabling targeted value creation: The concentration of approximately
69% hotel demand within the ₹ 3,500K (excluding GST) accommodation segment creates a focused
market opportunity for platforms optimised for economy hotel excellence. Rather than limiting growth
potential, this budget concentration allows specialised platforms to achieve superior unit economics by
optimising supply, negotiating volume-based rates, and delivering consistent quality within corporate
spending parameters. Platforms with direct hotel operations experience can create significant competitive
advantages by ensuring reliable service delivery within these budget constraints.
• GST compliance and operational efficiency gaps driving platform adoption: The widespread
challenges with tax-compliant invoicing, booking reliability, and administrative efficiency in offline
channels create compelling switching motivations for corporate buyers. These operational pain points
represent urgent business problems that technology platforms can solve immediately, creating strong
customer acquisition tailwinds and high switching barriers once implemented. Following introduction of
mandatory e-invoicing under India’s GST regime in 2020 and heightened audit scrutiny, enterprises now
177view travel platforms as strategic compliance and financial recovery tools, not merely booking
conveniences. Beyond compliance, enterprises also mandate consistent service quality and rapid issue
resolution across all markets.
This convergence of digitisation trends, geographic expansion, and operational improvement requirements creates
an exceptionally attractive market environment for corporate travel platforms with the supply management
expertise and technological capabilities to address enterprise requirements at scale.
India’s corporate MICE market, one of the fastest-growing globally, surged from ₹ 0.4 trillion in Fiscal
2020 to ₹ 0.5 trillion in Fiscal 2025, and is projected to hit ₹ 1.0 trillion by Fiscal 2030P, driven by booming
corporate events
The Indian corporate MICE market has emerged as an important part of business travel, supported by the
expansion of the corporate sector, better infrastructure, and rising global connections. India’s corporate MICE
market, one of the fastest growing markets globally, has grown from ₹ 0.4 trillion in Fiscal 2020 to ₹ 0.5 trillion

Company overview
India’s corporate travel management is evolving from fragmented solutions to integrated platforms that
combine enterprise technology with comprehensive hotel supply and service quality
India’s corporate hotel booking market remains nascent compared to global peers. While international platforms
such as TravelPerk offer integrated, full-stack solutions in mature markets, their presence in India remains limited,
leaving the market without platforms purpose-built for India's unique operational and compliance requirements.
TravelPerk offers personalised traveller profiles that store preferences, documents, and loyalty memberships for
a more streamlined experience. Onfly integrates multi-modal bookings, flights, hotels, and ground transport, with
automated expense tracking and approval workflows.
Global, the United States represents the largest corporate travel market, with an ecosystem that has achieved a
high level of digital maturity, transitioning from consumer-focused online travel agencies ("OTAs") to fully
integrated, enterprise-grade travel management platforms. Traditional OTAs such as Booking.com and Expedia
remain largely non-corporate customer focused, catering to individual travellers and lacking advanced capabilities
such as policy management, real-time spend visibility, and integration with enterprise systems. In contrast,
technology-led platforms such as TravelPerk have redefined corporate travel by offering end-to-end management
solutions that unify bookings, payments, expense reporting, and compliance workflows within a single ecosystem.
These platforms distinguish themselves through:
• Seamless integration with ERP, HRMS, and accounting systems, allowing automated data flow and
reconciliation.
• Real-time budget tracking and spend visibility for enhanced financial oversight.
• Automated policy enforcement and approval workflows aligned with corporate travel rules.
• Direct supplier connectivity with airlines, hotels, and ground transport for assured pricing and service
reliability.
• 24×7 omnichannel support and loyalty programme integration that improve traveller experience and
retention.
By embedding automation, analytics, and direct supplier partnerships, the U.S. market has evolved into a digitally
enabled and financially transparent corporate travel ecosystem, where technology plays a central role in
compliance, efficiency, and cost optimisation.
In contrast, India’s market continues to be fragmented, with most domestic players relying on OTA feeds or third-
party integrations and offering limited customisation and control. This presents a significant opportunity for
platforms like TravelPlus to replicate global best practices while addressing the unique operational and
compliance requirements for corporate hotel management. India’s corporate travel market faces fragmented
supply, manual processes, compliance gaps, and inconsistent service delivery, that create significant operational
179overhead, compliance challenges and inconsistent service delivery for enterprises. The biggest gap lies in hotel
supply and quality coverage, as most players rely on OTA (Point SaaS solutions) feeds or third-party tie-ups, with
weak penetration beyond metro cities. They lack on-ground expertise in hotel operation, bespoke invoicing
format, feedback mechanisms, and spend analytics, leading to limited choice, higher costs, and inconsistent
service for corporates. Simultaneously, corporate demand is expanding into tier-2&3 cities. Approximately 69%
of corporate hotel demand occurs in the economy segment (₹ 3,500 per night and below, excluding GST), where
95% of supply remains unbranded independent properties across metros, and tier 2/3 cities. Managing this
fragmented landscape, ensuring service quality, coordinating bookings and modifications, resolving traveler
issues, requires hands-on hotel operations expertise that most platforms lack. The convergence of digitisation
acceleration, GST compliance imperatives, geographic expansion, and service quality requirements favours
hotels-focused platforms combining technology automation with operational hotel management expertise.
Consumer-focused online travel companies, including their B2B offerings, optimise platforms for transaction
volumes with minimal human intervention and self-service experiences but lack service infrastructure, i.e.,
dedicated relationship managers, 24×7 human concierge, bespoke implementations, on-ground presence, and the
ability to ensure zero check-in denials through active hotel supplier management, while also missing key process
capabilities such as bespoke invoicing formats and end-to-end expense management, that enterprises require. This
positioning gap creates a sustainable competitive advantage for TravelPlus in serving corporate hotel booking
requirements. Providing enterprise-level service intensity for corporate hotel programs contradicts the consumer
platform architecture that enables serving millions of retail travelers efficiently but prevents serving hundreds of
enterprise clients effectively.
TravelPlus is among the few corporate travel platforms in India, addressing critical pain points on both the demand
and supply sides by delivering process excellence through enterprise-grade workflow technology and service
excellence through proven hotel operations expertise. It is the only corporate travel management in India with on-
ground hotel operations experience at this scale. Through its private label brand FabHotels, the platform provides
access to over 1,379 hotels across more than 76 cities in India, giving corporates access to curated, standardised,
and budget-friendly stays at scale, something no other player offers. The on-ground presence enables TravelPlus
to better understand and resolve corporate traveller pain points, ensure service consistency, and maintain essential
business amenities across its network. As a result, the platform delivers a reliable, high-quality, and seamless stay
experience for corporate customers, strengthening its differentiation in India’s evolving corporate travel market.
Pure workflow digitisation platforms fall short on stay quality and service delivery in the economy segment,
whereas traditional travel agents and travel management companies lack enterprise-grade, modular technology
capabilities. TravelPlus combines operational expertise with modular technology to support reliable corporate
travel management and a differentiated approach in the market. For the six months ended September 30, 2025,
TravelPlus recorded an average daily rate ("ADR") of ₹ 3,898 (excluding GST) for free independent travellers
("FIT") bookings across 474 enterprise clients. This is about 25% to 30% lower than the ADR for B2B offerings
of large consumer-focused online travel companies, despite comparable inventory availability on both platforms.
This ADR differential reflects enterprise booking behavior: corporates utilize TravelPlus across economy and
premium segments matching natural demand patterns, while reducing the number of economy bookings on
consumer platforms despite supply availability. TravelPlus provides dedicated relationship managers for each
client account who understand travel patterns, operational needs, and evolving requirements, 24×7 human
concierge with established escalation protocols enabling issue resolution, and active hotel supplier management
through vetting protocols evaluating enterprise quality standards, training systems educating property staff on
corporate invoicing requirements and business travel quality standards, quality management frameworks
monitoring and maintaining service standards, and direct supplier relationships enabling resolution of service
issues in a timely manner. This service infrastructure differentiates TravelPlus from consumer platforms that
optimize for self-service experiences and lack the operational capabilities required for enterprise hotel programs.
Beyond hotels, TravelPlus extends coverage to flights, cabs, and other modes, allowing enterprises to manage
travel in one place. Where others provide fragmented solutions, TravelPlus’ comprehensive corporate travel
management solutions integrate all stages of the travel management process into a single, cohesive system,
focused on delivering both process excellence and service excellence, establishing a defensible position that
potential entrants in the market will find difficult to replicate without significant operational expertise, and time
and financial investment. Moreover, TravelPlus average implementation time from client onboarding to full
operational deployment was approximately 30 days in the six months ended September 30, 2025 and Fiscal 2025,
significantly faster than the industry average of over 2 to 3 months for traditional travel management companies.
TravelPlus ability to deliver both technology-driven process excellence and human-delivered service excellence
at scale creates substantial barriers to entry. The platform offers a unified integrated corporate travel management
platform that brings together native applications, enterprise integrations, and proprietary supply to deliver a
seamless experience for Indian corporates.
180• Native applications and support: Employee-facing web and mobile apps, admin dashboards, and 24×7
human concierge that enable employees and administrators to manage bookings, expenses, and queries
with ease.
• Enterprise integrations: Direct connectivity with ERP, HRMS, Single sign-on ("SSO"), and expense
management tools ensures automated invoicing, reconciliation, budget controls, and policy enforcement,
reducing manual effort for finance and HR teams.
• Control and compliance: Real-time spend dashboards, configurable approval workflows, automated
expense capture with receipt OCR, bespoke GST invoicing format, and audit-ready reporting provide
enterprises with full visibility, control, and compliance assurance.
• Proprietary and marketplace supply: TravelPlus offers direct access to 1,379+ FabHotels across 76+
cities, ensuring standardised and quality-assured stays, while also aggregating 27,247 hotels. In addition,
the platform provides access to flights, trains, buses, and cabs, enabling comprehensive travel coverage.
• Integrated payments and expenses: AI-enabled expense capture, and automated policy checks
streamline expense submissions, settlements, and reconciliations, strengthening financial control while
lowering administrative costs.
TravelPlus combines best-in-class technology with industry-leading service capabilities to deliver a
seamless, end-to-end corporate travel experience
TravelPlus is the only platform in India that combines best-in-class online travel agency ("OTA") technology with
industry-leading service and process capabilities, delivering an integrated, end-to-end solution for enterprise
clients. It is the only corporate travel management platform in India that delivers both process excellence and
service excellence at scale, with near zero check-in denials, on-ground presence and enterprise implementation
averaging 30 days. TravelPlus delivers process excellence through enterprise-grade workflow automation - multi-
level policy engines, approval workflows, GST-compliant invoicing, real-time analytics, and ERP integration -
enabling transparent, compliant travel management. Service excellence is delivered through dedicated relationship
managers, 24×7 human concierge, active hotel supplier management, and rapid issue resolution protocols,
ensuring reliable service delivery across TravelPlus managed marketplace. In Fiscal 2025, an analysis of
approximately 150 identical properties in Delhi NCR shows TravelPlus averaging 4.0 compared to 3.6 on large
consumer-focused online travel platforms, demonstrating measurably higher guest satisfaction through active
supplier management and quality protocols. Traditional booking platforms experience check-in denial rates of 1%
to 2% and service issue escalation rates of 1-6% in Fiscal 2025, compared to TravelPlus' negligible rates for both
metrics in the same period. The company's hotels-focused positioning in the enterprise segment has enabled
superior unit economics evidenced by Take rate of 18.64%, 18.72% and 18.23% in the Fiscal 2025, Fiscal 2024,
and Fiscal 2023, respectively, which are significantly higher than industry averages of around 8% to 10% for the
same period. (Note: Take rate is defined as Total Gross Transaction Value ("GTV") (excluding GST) after
deducting service cost pertaining to supplier, and Take rate (%) is defined as the Take rate divided by Total GTV
ex GST). TravelPlus operates India’s leading hotels-focused corporate travel management platform for enterprise
clients, in terms of revenue from operations in Fiscal 2025, catering to the demand side of business travel through
hotel bookings and a comprehensive suite of integrated travel solutions. TravelPlus is one of the recognized
corporate travel management service provider among large and medium-sized enterprises. The platform has grown
into a differentiated corporate travel platform serving over 500 enterprise clients. In Fiscal 2025, TravelPlus has
one of the highest market share of corporate travel spending by large enterprises in India. As of September 30,
2025, TravelPlus has one of the highest market share in India in terms of number of clients within the Fortune
2000 segment. In Fiscal 2025, it reported ₹ 8,970.40 million in total GTV, supported by a hotel-focused portfolio
and exclusive corporate fares, with a take-rate of 18.7%. As of September 30, 2025, TravelPlus has onboarded
1,379 properties under the FabHotels and Via brands, cumulatively making these brands among the largest private-
label economy hotel brands in India.
181Key challenges and threats to TravelPlus
While the corporate travel platform sector is expanding, it faces competitive hurdles, such as.
• Adoption barriers in traditional large companies: Some companies remain hesitant to shift from
manual processes to digital travel management solutions due to perceived cost implications, employee
training requirements, or concerns about integrating with legacy IT systems. This can prolong the sales
cycle and slow adoption in certain sectors, particularly in industries with entrenched operational routines.
• Sensitivity to economic downturns: The travel industry is highly sensitive to the general economic
condition and trends including actual or perceived safety concerns, the availability and cost of finance,
interest and exchange rates, fuel prices, unemployment levels and the cost of travel. The corporate travel
industry is also highly sensitive to business discretionary spends, and it tends to decline with general
economic downturns.
• Ability to cross-sell: Different organisations have varied travel requirements, and offering relevant add-
ons requires tailored solutions rather than a generic approach. This can limit opportunities and slows
overall revenue growth.
• Integration complexities: Corporates and institutions continue to rely on fragmented or legacy corporate
travel management systems. Integrating a modern platform with these ERP, HRMS, and finance systems
can be complex, often leading to longer implementation cycles and higher costs. Seamless
interoperability is essential to ensure smooth adoption and consistent user experience
• Data privacy and compliance pressures: Corporate travel management platforms handle sensitive
information such as employee details, travel histories, payment records, and corporate billing data. If not
secured properly, this data can be vulnerable to cyberattacks or misuse, which can damage client trust
and lead to legal consequences.
• Market education and awareness gaps: While demand exists, many mid-market companies remain
unaware of comprehensive travel management solutions, requiring continued investment in market
development and customer education to accelerate adoption beyond early adopter segments.
182• Rapid technological evolution and risk of obsolescence: The travel industry is characterized by rapid
technological evolution, changes in client requirements and preferences, frequent introduction of new
services and products embodying new technologies, and the emergence of new industry standards and
practices, any of which could render the existing technologies and systems obsolete.
These market dynamics favour platforms with strong execution capabilities, deep local market expertise, and
differentiated value propositions. Rather than representing fundamental threats, these factors create natural
competitive moats for platforms that successfully navigate complexity while delivering superior customer
experiences and operational reliability.

Business overview
Who we are
We operate TravelPlus, India’s largest hotels-focused corporate travel management platform for enterprise clients,
in terms of revenue from operations in Fiscal 2025. (Source: 1Lattice Report) During the six months ended
September 30, 2025, TravelPlus served 474 enterprise clients, including over 100 NSE-listed companies and over
50 multinational corporations, with clients such as ABInBev, Astral Limited, Comviva, Emcure Pharmaceuticals,
Eternal (formerly Zomato; including Blinkit and others), Jyothy Labs, NIIT, Shalimar Paints, Tata Projects, Titan
Company, Ujjivan Small Finance Bank, and Zepto through a managed marketplace of over 25,000 active hotels,
in India, across economy and premium segments.
Our platform enables employees and travel desks of enterprises to book travel, manage approvals, process
expenses, and receive comprehensive support throughout the travel lifecycle – helping enterprises optimize travel
spends, improve policy compliance, and drive convenience for all stakeholders. While hotels are our strategic
focus, TravelPlus provides comprehensive, integrated solutions that enable enterprises to consolidate all travel
needs – flights, ground transportation and MICE, onto a single platform, eliminating the need for multiple vendors.
In the six months ended September 30, 2025 and Fiscals 2025, 2024 and 2023, hotels represented 92.71%, 94.18%,
95.92% and 99.71% of our gross transaction value (“GTV”), respectively.
184TravelPlus combines enterprise-grade workflow technology with comprehensive service infrastructure purpose-
built for hotel booking management. Our platform delivers both process excellence (Source: 1Lattice Report) -
workflow automation, policy compliance, GST-compliant invoicing, real-time analytics, expense management,
and ERP/ HRMS integrations; and service excellence (Source: 1Lattice Report) - dedicated relationship managers,
24/7 human concierge, and active hotel supplier management. Together, this creates deep operational embedding
with enterprise clients, resulting in a SaaS-like business model with high stickiness and strong GTV expansion
over time. For further details, see “ – Competitive Strengths – Strong client retention through operational
embedding and relationship capital” on page 192. In the six months ended September 30, 2025, our platform
maintained an average user satisfaction rating of 4.3 out of 5.0.
We launched TravelPlus in 2020 to digitize the underserved corporate hotel booking market, leveraging the deep
supply-side expertise gained from managing FabHotels since 2015. The economy hotel segment represents 69%
of corporate hotel demand in India but remains 95% unbranded and fragmented, with properties typically owned
by individual operators with varying hospitality expertise, (Source: 1Lattice Report) requiring hands-on
operational capabilities. This ‘Operator DNA’ – developed through vetting suppliers, training staff, and managing
service quality – provided the foundation for TravelPlus’ capabilities in managing our wider marketplace. As of
September 30, 2025, approximately 75% of hotels in our managed marketplace operate in this economy segment.
To serve distinct customer groups and optimize inventory within this segment, we maintain a strategic asset light
private-label portfolio comprising FabHotels and Via brands (the latter introduced in September 2025), which
cumulatively included 1,379 onboarded properties as of September 30, 2025.
Market opportunity
The Indian corporate travel sector (excluding MICE) was valued at ₹ 3.6 trillion in Fiscal 2025, with the hotel
segment representing 34% of the total market and 55% of the market’s profit pool. India’s corporate travel
market faces fragmented supply, manual processes, compliance gaps, and inconsistent service delivery – that
create significant operational overhead, compliance challenges and inconsistent service delivery for enterprises.
(Source: 1Lattice Report)
Corporate hotel booking presents fundamentally different operational requirements than air travel management,
where platforms primarily facilitate standardized airline inventory. Hotels - particularly in the economy segment
- involve fragmented supply across independent properties with varying service standards, requiring active
supplier management, quality vetting, and rapid issue resolution that air travel platforms do not require. This
operational intensity creates higher barriers to entry but also supports stronger unit economics: hotel bookings
deliver significantly higher gross margins than air travel due to fragmented supply, and the value enterprise
185places on service reliability in fragmented markets. The combination of operational complexity and superior
economics makes corporate hotel management a defensible, high-margin business that differs fundamentally
from commodity air travel facilitation. (Source: 1Lattice Report)
Despite these attractive market characteristics, India’s corporate hotel booking market remains underserved.
Traditional solutions fall into two categories, each with critical limitations for corporate hotel booking
management. Traditional travel management companies (“TMCs”) and offline travel agents provide
relationship-driven service but lack enterprise-grade technology for workflow automation, policy compliance
enforcement, real-time analytics, and ERP/HRMS integration. While some TMCs have limited economy hotel
supply, they lack on-ground hotel operations expertise to actively manage service quality or resolve issues
rapidly across fragmented supply. (Source: 1Lattice Report)
Digital alternatives have critical limitations. Large consumer-focused online travel companies, including their
business-to-business (“B2B”) offerings, optimize their platforms for business-to-consumer transactions,
prioritizing transaction volume and self-service booking experiences. While these platforms excel at consumer
functionalities, they lack the service infrastructure enterprises require – dedicated relationship managers, 24/7
human concierge, bespoke implementations, and active hotel supplier management. Providing enterprise-level
service intensity for corporate hotel programs contradicts the consumer platform architecture that enables
serving millions of retail travelers efficiently but prevents serving hundreds of enterprise clients effectively.
(Source: 1Lattice Report)
The infographic below highlights frequent challenges faced by enterprise clients. (Source: 1Lattice Report)
TravelPlus addresses these enterprise pain points through an integrated platform that combines technology
automation with hands-on hotel operations. Our platform provides enterprise-grade workflow capabilities - multi-
level policy engines, approval workflows, GST-compliant invoicing, real-time analytics, and ERP integration -
while dedicated relationship managers, 24/7 support, and active hotel supplier management ensure reliable service
delivery. This dual capability differentiates TravelPlus from traditional TMCs and consumer OTAs, including
their B2B offerings.
The comparison below illustrates how TravelPlus delivers comprehensive capabilities that existing solutions
cannot match. (Source: 1Lattice Report)
186Our growth and evolution since incorporation is set out below:
Our relevance in the market
India's corporate hotel booking market is at an inflection point. Online penetration stands at 20% to 25% in Fiscal
2025, versus 85% to 90% for railways and 70% to 75% for airlines, reflecting massive untapped opportunity as
enterprises demand the operational efficiency, cost transparency, and compliance capabilities that only digital
platforms can deliver. As enterprises migrate from traditional agents to platforms offering automated compliance,
workflow management and spend transparency, this digitization gap represents a significant market opportunity.
(Source: 1Lattice Report)
Beyond digitization, GST compliance has become a strategic urgency. Enterprises using traditional booking
methods face approximately 10% credit leakage due to improper invoicing, while platforms providing automated
187GST-compliant invoicing deliver immediate return on investment through credit recovery - transforming travel
management from a booking convenience into an essential financial tool. (Source: 1Lattice Report)
Simultaneously, corporate demand is expanding into Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities. Approximately 69% of corporate
hotel demand occurs in the economy segment (₹3,500 per night and below, excluding GST), where 95% of supply
remains unbranded independent properties across metros, and tier 2/3 cities. (Source: 1Lattice Report) Ensuring
consistent service delivery across this fragmented supply requires hands-on operational expertise that workflow
automation alone cannot address. This combination of digitization urgency, regulatory compliance requirements,
and operational complexity favors platforms that integrate technology with hands-on hotel operations.

Management team
We benefit from a founder-led management structure anchored by a leadership team with domain experience
across hospitality, hotel operations, technology, and corporate strategy. Our Company was co-founded by Vaibhav
Aggarwal and Adarssh Mnpuria. Vaibhav Aggarwal holds a bachelor's degree in civil engineering from Indian
Institute of Technology, Guwahati and attended the Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania. Adarssh
Mnpuria holds a bachelor's degree from Shaheed Sukhdev College of Business Studies, University of Delhi and
attended the Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania. Their combined experience has been instrumental in
shaping our strategic direction, operational rigor, and technology-led growth in corporate hotel management. The
management team and board of directors comprise professionals with significant industry experience across travel,
technology, consumer services, and taxation. This depth of experience enables us to navigate complex operational
environments and scale efficiently. We are backed by investors such as Accel, Goldman Sachs, Panthera, and
Qualcomm, and we believe their continued support reflects confidence in our business model, leadership and
growth potential.
Competitive strengths
Our competitive positioning is anchored in capabilities that are difficult to replicate due to the operational
investment and expertise, time horizon, and business model requirements necessary to deliver both process
excellence and service excellence:
Leading hotels-focused corporate travel platform combining process and service excellence
TravelPlus is India's largest hotels-focused corporate travel management platform for enterprises, in terms of
revenue from operations in Fiscal 2025. (Source: 1Lattice Report) As of September 30, 2025, we served 474
enterprise clients through our managed marketplace of over 25,000 active hotels, in India. In the six months ended
September 30, 2025 and Fiscals 2025, 2024 and 2023, hotels represented 92.71%, 94.18%, 95.92% and 99.71%,
of our GTV, respectively, demonstrating our strategic focus on corporate hotel management where our
competitive advantages are strongest. Our platform maintained an average user satisfaction rating of 4.3 out of
5.0 in the six months ended September 30, 2025, reflecting strong client and traveler satisfaction with our service
delivery.
Our process excellence delivers enterprise-grade workflow automation across the complete travel management
lifecycle. The TravelPlus platform provides multi-level policy engines accommodating hierarchical travel policies
customizable by department, designation, and employee; approval workflow systems supporting organizational
routing logic with manager-level modifications; automated GST-compliant invoicing with state-level
consolidated billing enabling full input tax credit recovery; real-time analytics processing large transaction
189volumes and generating customized insights with flexible data cuts and period selection; end-to-end expense
management workflows covering submission to approval to processing, and ERP/HRMS integrations enabling
automated data synchronization and financial management.
Our service excellence combines client support with rigorous supply-side operations. For clients, we provide
dedicated relationship managers who understand specific account requirements and travel patterns, and a 24/7
human concierge with established escalation protocols. On the supply side, we enforce active hotel management
through vetting, staff training on corporate invoicing requirements, and quality management frameworks -
enabling us to maintain service standards and resolve issues through direct supplier relationships.
These combined capabilities deliver measurable value to enterprise travel managers through enhanced
compliance, cost savings, operational convenience, and improve the overall travel experience for enterprise
clients. Our platform enables cost savings through automated GST-compliant invoicing that eliminates credit
leakage, policy automation that improves compliance and reduces out-of-policy spending, and consolidated spend
visibility enabling cost optimization. Operational convenience is delivered through rapid implementation from
client-onboarding to operational deployment, reduced administrative overhead through workflow automation,
proactive service quality management, and improved traveler satisfaction. These quantifiable benefits create
economic incentives for enterprises to consolidate travel management on our platform and drive the high net GTV
retention rates of 158.51% - 201.35% we observe across different client cohort measurement periods. For further
information, see “– Competitive Strengths – Strong client retention through operational embedding and
relationship capital” on page 192.
We are the only corporate travel management platform in India that delivers both process excellence and service
excellence at scale, with near-zero check-in denials, on-ground presence and enterprise implementation averaging
30 days. Our ability to deliver both technology-driven process excellence and human-delivered service excellence
at scale creates substantial barriers to entry. (Source: 1Lattice Report)
190Deep operational expertise rooted in our hospitality origins
Our competitive positioning in corporate hotel management builds on operational expertise developed over ten
years managing FabHotels, our asset light private-label economy hotel brand established in 2015. Managing this
brand provided us with the deep market relationships and supplier understanding required to navigate the
fragmented economy segment. We leverage this ‘Operator intelligence’ to apply a service assurance layer across
our wider managed marketplace. We utilise our backend infrastructure and established relationships to proactively
manage supplier behaviour – ranging from pre-arrival nudges that prevent check-in denials to enforcing GST-
compliant invoicing protocols. We are the only corporate travel management platform in India with on-ground
hotel operations experience at this scale. (Source: 1Lattice Report) As of September 30, 2025, we have onboarded
1,379 properties under the FabHotels and Via brands (the latter introduced in September 2025 to focus on the
value segment). This heritage allows us to monitor third-party inventory with an operator’s eye, ensuring service
reliability through active supervision rather than passive listing.
The economy hotel segment represents 69% of corporate hotel demand in India but remains 95% unbranded and
fragmented, with properties typically owned by individual operators with varying hospitality expertise. (Source:
1Lattice Report) This creates significant challenges for corporate travelers and enterprises seeking consistent
service quality, particularly in Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities where hotel supply is most fragmented. Traditional travel
management companies have limited economy hotel coverage and lack on-ground hotel operations expertise to
actively manage service quality at scale, while consumer-focused online travel companies display open
marketplace listings without active supplier management or hotel operations capabilities, leaving corporate
travelers to navigate quality inconsistencies independently. (Source: 1Lattice Report) The operational capabilities
required to manage this fragmented supply - supplier vetting protocols, staff training systems, quality monitoring
frameworks, and rapid issue resolution mechanisms - represent a significant competitive advantage for
TravelPlus.
For the six months ended September 30, 2025, TravelPlus’ managed marketplace recorded an average daily rate
(“ADR”) of ₹ 3,898 (excluding GST) for free independent travellers bookings across 474 enterprise clients -
approximately 25%-30% lower than the ADR for B2B offerings of large consumer-focused online travel
companies, despite comparable inventory availability on both platforms. (Source: 1Lattice Report) This ADR
differential reflects enterprise booking behavior: corporates utilize TravelPlus across economy and premium
segments matching natural demand patterns, while reducing the number of economy bookings on consumer
platforms despite supply availability. (Source: 1Lattice Report) The divergence demonstrates operational
confidence - enterprises trust TravelPlus to manage service quality and resolve issues across economy hotels
through hands-on operations. This economy segment penetration also delivers superior platform economics: for
the six months ended September 30, 2025, TravelPlus realized a take-rate of 21.91% for economy segment
bookings.
Our operational expertise in managing economy hotel quality is validated by measurable service outcomes. In
Fiscal 2025, an analysis of approximately 150 identical properties in Delhi NCR shows TravelPlus averaging 4.0
compared to 3.6 on large consumer-focused online travel platforms, demonstrating measurably higher guest
satisfaction through active supplier management and quality protocols. (Source: 1Lattice Report) As per the
1Lattice Report, traditional booking platforms experience check-in denial rates of 1%-2% and service issue
escalation rates of 1%-6% in Fiscal 2025, compared to TravelPlus’ negligible rates for both metrics in the same
period.
As of September 30, 2025, TravelPlus’ managed marketplace included over 25,000 active hotels across 1,382
cities in India, with approximately 75% operating in the economy segment. The number of active hotels in
TravelPlus’ managed marketplace increased from 14,795 as of March 31, 2023 to 27,247 as of September 30,
2025. We vet properties based on guest ratings, infrastructure standards, and other parameters before onboarding
to our platform. Our operational model includes engagement with hotel partners to sensitize them to corporate
guest requirements and service expectations, which helps maintain service consistency across our managed
marketplace. We provide guidance on GST documentation to facilitate compliant invoicing for corporate
bookings. We monitor service quality through real-time analysis of traveler feedback and booking patterns to
maintain consistency across our managed marketplace. When service issues arise - such as booking confirmation
delays, room availability discrepancies, quality concerns, or billing errors - our established escalation protocols
and direct supplier relationships enable rapid resolution, often before issues impact the traveling employee. Our
on-ground presence through FabHotels operations provides additional leverage in key markets, as we maintain
191relationships with property owners, understand local market dynamics, and can deploy operational resources to
resolve critical issues.
We believe that our FabHotels operational capabilities extend beyond supply management to serve as an organic
client acquisition channel. Further, we also believe that companies experiencing consistent FabHotels service
quality across their travel locations develop trust in our operational capabilities, making TravelPlus adoption for
company-wide travel management a natural progression.
Strong client retention through operational embedding and relationship capital
TravelPlus develops deep client relationships through a combination of operational embedding, relationship
capital, and rapid value delivery. As of September 30, 2025, over 100 active enterprise clients have embedded
their corporate travel policies on TravelPlus, covering over 120,000 employees across these organizations.
Our average implementation time from client onboarding to full operational deployment was approximately 30
days in the six months ended September 30, 2025 and Fiscal 2025, significantly faster than the industry average
of over 2-3 months for traditional travel management companies. (Source: 1Lattice Report) This rapid time-to-
value enables clients to realize benefits quickly, accelerates platform adoption, and establishes operational
momentum that contributes to long-term retention.
Enterprise sales cycles for corporate travel management platforms are inherently long and complex, typically
spanning 3-12 months and involving multiple stakeholders including procurement teams, finance departments,
travel desk managers, HR leadership, and at times C-suite executives for large deployments. These extended sales
processes require substantial relationship building, detailed platform demonstrations, pilot program execution,
stakeholder alignment, and contract negotiations. Once an enterprise has invested this time and organizational
effort to select and implement a corporate travel management platform, it generates significant client stickiness
and creates natural barriers to competitive displacement.
Enterprises face substantial switching costs beyond technical integration. Operational embedding occurs as travel
desk teams develop fluency in platform workflows and booking processes, employees become familiar with the
user interface and booking procedures, travel managers learn to navigate analytics and reporting tools, and finance
teams establish reconciliation and payment workflows. This organizational muscle memory represents significant
192investment that would need to be rebuilt with an alternative provider, creating friction against platform switching
even in the absence of technical integrations.
Relationship capital accumulates as dedicated TravelPlus relationship managers develop deep understanding of
client-specific requirements, travel patterns, organizational dynamics, and key stakeholder preferences through
ongoing engagement. These relationships, sometimes spanning years, provide institutional knowledge and trust
that cannot be quickly replicated by new vendors. The depth of these relationships enables proactive problem-
solving, anticipatory service adjustments, and responsive support that strengthens over time and becomes
increasingly valuable to enterprise clients managing complex travel operations.
Process customization and configuration tailored to enterprise-specific needs create additional client stickiness.
Multi-level policy structures, approval hierarchies, custom reporting formats, and negotiated rate contracts with
preferred hotel suppliers are configured to match each enterprise's specific requirements. Recreating these
configurations with an alternative provider requires substantial effort, extensive stakeholder coordination, and
potential service disruption during transition - factors that weigh heavily in enterprises’ retention decisions.
Our client cohorts demonstrate strong GTV expansion over time, with net GTV retention rates ranging from
158.51% - 201.35% across different cohort measurement periods. Clients onboarded in Fiscal 2023 generated
indexed GTV of 1.00 by the end of their first year, i.e., by March 31, 2023, growing to 1.59 by the end of their
second year, i.e., by March 31, 2024 and 2.01 by the end of their third year, i.e., by March 31, 2025. Clients
onboarded in Fiscal 2024 showed similar expansion trajectory, reaching indexed GTV of 1.61 by the end of their
second year, i.e., by March 31, 2025. This GTV expansion occurs as enterprises increase hotel booking volumes
through TravelPlus, extend our platform to additional business units and geographies, and migrate bookings from
alternative channels as confidence grows. The table below demonstrates indexed GTV expansion across enterprise
client cohorts onboarded since the six months ended September 30, 2022 (“H1 FY23”). Clients onboarded in H1
FY23 grew from an indexed GTV of 1.00 in their first six months to 5.69 by their seventh half-year period, i.e.,
the six months ended September 30, 2025 (a period of 42 months), representing 468.97% cumulative growth. The
average mature cohort expansion shows clients reaching 1.94x GTV by month 6-12, 2.82x by month 12-18, and
stabilizing at 3.32-3.60x by month 24-36 as wallet share consolidation completes.

Platform adoption is accelerating within enterprise clients as operational familiarity deepens. In the six months
ending September 30, 2025, 21.46% of bookings by active enterprise clients were made through our self-booking
tool where employees book travel directly, compared to 7.62% in Fiscal 2024, with the remaining bookings
processed through travel desk administrators using our admin booking tool. As of September 30, 2025, the
TravelPlus mobile application and web portal had been accessed by approximately 45,000 employees across our
client organizations. This growing platform permeation beyond travel desk teams to individual travelers within
enterprises reflects increasing user confidence and ease of use. Our client base composition demonstrates
successful enterprise market penetration and account expansion over time. The table below shows active
enterprise client distribution by annual TravelPlus spend:

Total 474 418 379 314
Note:
^ Data is for trailing twelve months.
The progressive shift toward higher-value client segments reflects both new enterprise wins and existing account
expansion. Clients spending above ₹ 10 million annually increased from 27 in Fiscal 2023 to 115 in the six months
ended September 30, 2025 (trailing twelve month period), while clients in the above ₹ 20 million segment grew
from 11 to 69 over the same period. This upmarket movement, combined with the retention of smaller enterprise
clients, demonstrates TravelPlus' ability to serve diverse enterprise segments while expanding within accounts as
operational trust deepens.
We believe that our platform benefits from demand-supply flywheel effects that strengthen over time. As we
onboard new enterprise clients, aggregate demand for hotel inventory increases across our key travel routes and
destinations. This increased booking volume enables us to negotiate improved rates and terms with hotel suppliers,
enhancing the value proposition for existing and prospective clients. Higher utilization of hotel partners through
increased corporate bookings strengthens supplier relationships and improves their responsiveness to our service
requests, further enhancing reliability for corporate travelers. As our managed marketplace expands and service
quality improves, client satisfaction increases and retention strengthens, creating positive feedback loops that we
believe become increasingly difficult for competitors to overcome as our client base and hotel marketplace scale.
The following table illustrates wallet share expansion patterns across select enterprise clients from our top 50
enterprise clients, showing progressive GTV growth as operational trust builds over 12 months:

194We believe that the combination of long enterprise sales cycles, operational embedding, relationship capital,
process customization, and demand-supply network effects creates a defensible competitive position for
TravelPlus. While technical integrations provide additional switching costs where implemented, the primary
sources of client stickiness are operational familiarity, relationship strength, and enterprise inertia against vendor
changes - factors that compound over time and become increasingly difficult for competitors to overcome. This
positions client retention and organic account expansion as key drivers of our growth trajectory and long-term
competitive advantage.
Established brand trusted by enterprises across sectors
We believe that TravelPlus has built brand recognition and trust among enterprises in India through consistent
service delivery, client satisfaction, and demonstrated value in corporate hotel management. As of September 30,
2025, we serve 474 enterprise clients across diverse sectors including consumer goods, automotive components,
industrial manufacturing, education and training, technology services, financial services, energy, and consumer
services. Our client portfolio includes marquee enterprises such as ABInBev, Astral Limited, Comviva, Emcure
Pharmaceuticals, Eternal (formerly Zomato; including Blinkit and others), Jyothy Labs, NIIT, Shalimar Paints,
Tata Projects, Titan Company, Ujjivan Small Finance Bank, and Zepto, demonstrating our ability to serve
established corporations with sophisticated travel management requirements and rigorous vendor selection
processes. Set out below are some of our enterprise clients:
195TravelPlus is one of the recognized corporate travel management service provider among large and medium-sized
enterprises. (Source: 1Lattice Report) Our platform capabilities and service excellence have been recognized
through industry awards including the ‘Promoting entrepreneurship through lists and research’ by Hurun India at
2025 ASK Private Wealth Hurun India – Excellence in Corporate Travel Management, the Best Corporate Travel
Platform of India 2025 by TravTour Mice Guide, MICE Startup of the Year 2023-2024 by Mice Affairs Magazine,
and Today’s Traveller Award 2024 for Best Emerging Business Travel and Meeting Management Company 2023-
2024 by Today’s Traveller Magazine, further validating our market position.
Our client base demonstrates healthy diversification across industry sectors, reducing concentration risk and
validating our platform's broad applicability. We serve clients in over 40 distinct industry sectors as of September
30, 2025, with no single sector representing more than 10% of our GTV. This sector diversification reflects the
need for corporate hotel management solutions across varied enterprise requirements including manufacturing
companies with distributed plant locations and field teams, technology and professional services firms with
project-based travel, financial services institutions with compliance-heavy travel policies, consumer goods
companies with extensive sales force mobility, and industrial enterprises with engineering and site visit
requirements.
Our top 50 enterprise clients contributed 33.36%, 32.10%, 26.61% and 21.76% to our GTV in the six months
ended September 30, 2025 and Fiscals 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively, indicating a well-balanced client
portfolio that reduces dependency on any individual client relationship.
Enterprise client acquisition in corporate travel management typically occurs through rigorous vendor evaluation
processes involving multiple stakeholders, detailed platform demonstrations, reference checks with existing
clients, pilot program execution, and comparative analysis against alternative providers. Enterprises making
platform decisions prioritize vendors with proven experience serving similar organizations, strong references from
peer companies in their industry, track record of successful implementations without service disruptions, and
financial stability to ensure ongoing service. The trust and credibility required to win these competitive evaluations
196is built through demonstrated performance with existing clients, industry reputation for service quality and
reliability, and validated operational capabilities in managing corporate hotel programs at scale.
Our growing base of satisfied enterprise clients serves as our strongest sales asset, as prospective clients evaluate
our performance with similar enterprises, speak directly with our existing clients during reference checks, and
assess our proven ability to deliver consistent value. This creates positive network effects where each successful
client implementation strengthens our market position and enhances our credibility with prospective enterprises.
Building comparable brand strength and client trust requires years of consistent execution, a satisfied client base
willing to provide references, proven operational capabilities. New entrants face significant challenges
establishing credibility with risk-averse enterprise buyers without proven track records and reference clients.
(Source: 1Lattice Report) Our established brand position, marquee client relationships, and operational track
record create meaningful competitive advantages in enterprise sales processes where trust and proven execution
significantly influence vendor selection decisions.
Comprehensive technology platform purpose-built for enterprise complexity
TravelPlus is built on a proprietary technology platform specifically designed for corporate hotel booking
management, enabling us to rapidly develop client-specific solutions, introduce new capabilities, and scale
operations efficiently. We have made significant investments in developing enterprise-grade technology
infrastructure since our inception, with our technology team comprising 53 employees as of September 30, 2025.
In the six months ended September 30, 2025, and Fiscals 2025, 2024 and 2023, our technology expenses
(comprising of website development and related maintenance, communication cost and payment processing
charges) were ₹38.34 million, ₹74.89 million, ₹69.02 million and ₹53.14 million, respectively.
Our technology architecture addresses the complex requirements that differentiate enterprise hotel management
from consumer travel booking. The platform provides multi-level policy engines that accommodate hierarchical
travel policies customizable by department, designation, employee grade, trip purpose, and destination. Approval
workflow systems support organizational routing with multi-stage approvals, manager-level modifications,
delegation capabilities, and exception handling. Automated GST-compliant invoicing generates state-level
consolidated billing that enables enterprises to recover 100% of eligible input tax credits, eliminating the credit
leakage that occurs with traditional booking methods. Real-time analytics and reporting capabilities process large
transaction volumes and generate customized insights with flexible data cuts by business unit, geography,
employee, time period, and cost center, with integration capabilities for major ERP and HRMS systems.
197Travel policies configuration on the admin interface of TravelPlus.
Analytics on the admin interface of TravelPlus.
TravelPlus is built on modern microservices architecture, wherein the platform is built as a collection of small,
independent services, each responsible for a specific business function that enables independent development,
deployment and scaling of components, rapid deployment of new features, and high availability through
distributed infrastructure. This architectural approach allows us to handle growing transaction volumes efficiently
198while maintaining system performance as our client base scales, creating operational leverage where technology
handles increasing booking volumes without proportional expansion of operational teams.
Our platform's customization capabilities address enterprise-specific requirements that standard consumer
booking platforms cannot accommodate. We configure multi-office coordination workflows that enable
enterprises with distributed operations to manage travel across multiple locations with customized reporting
hierarchies, location-specific approval chains, and consolidated visibility for centralized finance teams. Our
modular architecture allows implementation of bespoke features for individual clients including custom invoice
formats matching enterprise accounting systems, specialized approval workflows for complex organizational
structures, and tailored analytics addressing unique reporting requirements. This configurability is delivered
through platform settings rather than custom code development, enabling us to serve diverse enterprise needs
while maintaining a unified technology foundation.
We have integrated artificial intelligence (“AI”) and machine learning (“ML”) capabilities across operations,
service delivery, and sales processes to enhance efficiency and service quality. Our AI-powered systems and voice
bots coordinate with hotel suppliers for booking confirmations and communications, automate quality monitoring
by analyzing traveler feedback patterns, and identify potential service issues before they impact corporate
travelers. These capabilities enable our teams to operate more efficiently while maintaining service quality as we
scale, reducing manual work in routine processes and allowing human expertise to focus on complex client
requirements and relationship management.
Demonstrated financial performance and operational leverage
We have demonstrated consistent financial performance and improving unit economics as we scale operations.
Between Fiscal 2023 and Fiscal 2025, our GTV from direct channels increased at a CAGR of 39.62% from ₹
3,753.18 million to ₹ 7,316.79 million, driven by client acquisitions and wallet share expansion within existing
accounts. Our hotels-focused positioning in the enterprise segment has enabled superior unit economics evidenced
by Take Rate (%) of 18.64%, 18.72% and 18.23% in the Fiscals 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively, which are
significantly higher than industry averages of around 8%-10% for the same periods. (Source: 1Lattice Report)
Our Adjusted EBITDA increased from ₹ (30.40) million in Fiscal 2023 to ₹ 169.67 million in Fiscal 2025. Further,
our average GTV per active enterprise client increased at a CAGR of 47.42% from ₹ 4.73 million in Fiscal 2023
199to ₹ 10.28 million in Fiscal 2025 and was ₹ 10.81 million in the six months ended September 30, 2025. For
reconciliation in relation to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, Net Worth, Return on Net Worth and Net Asset per
Equity Share, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations –
Non-GAAP Financial Measures” on page 342.
We have achieved an operating leverage of 74.75% during Fiscal 2025. This reflects revenue expansion outpacing
operating cost growth, supported by workflow automation, supplier integration, and GenAI deployment. This
creates a virtuous cycle where revenue expansion directly contributes to margin improvement, positioning us to
sustain profitability as we scale. Our Take Rate increased by 83.42% from ₹ 801.65 million in Fiscal 2023 to ₹
1,470.40 million in Fiscal 2025, while employee benefits expense (excluding share based payment expenses) and
other expenses increased at a lower rate of 53.88% from ₹ 916.79 million in Fiscal 2023 to ₹ 1,410.75 million in
Fiscal 2025.

Growth strategies
Grow our enterprise client base through effective sales engagement
Significant whitespace in a market driven by enterprise digital transformation
The Indian corporate travel management platform market is projected to grow from ₹ 3.6 trillion in Fiscal 2025
to ₹ 6.9 trillion by Fiscal 2030 at a CAGR of 13.7%. Within this market, large and medium businesses (with
revenue greater than ₹ 5,000 million) accounted for ₹ 2.3 trillion in Fiscal 2025 and are projected to grow to ₹ 4.5
trillion by Fiscal 2030 registering a CAGR of 14.4%. Many of these enterprises continue using traditional travel
management companies, offline agents, or fragmented booking approaches that lack comprehensive workflow
automation and service infrastructure. (Source: 1Lattice Report)
200Several market trends accelerate adoption of corporate travel platforms. Enterprises are increasingly prioritizing
GST-compliant invoicing systems, automated expense reconciliation, and real-time analytics dashboards that
deliver enhanced cost control, operational transparency, regulatory compliance, and employee satisfaction.
(Source: 1Lattice Report) We believe that there is a particularly strong whitespace in high-spend sectors. BFSI
represents the largest opportunity at ₹ 1.3 trillion in Fiscal 2025, projected to grow to ₹ 2.3 trillion by Fiscal
2030. IT services contributed ₹ 0.8 trillion in Fiscal 2025, projected to grow to ₹ 1.7 trillion in Fiscal 2030.
Manufacturing and pharma segments together represented ₹ 0.7 trillion in Fiscal 2025, expanding to ₹ 1.5 trillion
by Fiscal 2030. These sectors are characterized by large employee bases, frequent business travel requirements,
and increasing emphasis on travel policy compliance and cost optimization (Source: 1Lattice Report) - areas
where our platform delivers quantifiable value.
Sales-led enterprise acquisition with strategic focus on large accounts
We deploy a direct sales motion supported by a dedicated enterprise sales team of 46 personnel as of September
30, 2025. We engage decision-makers across procurement, HR, and finance functions, with typical enterprise
sales cycles ranging from 3-12 months for large accounts. Procurement professionals typically lead vendor
selection, with HR and IT teams providing sign-offs on user experience and data security requirements, and
Finance stakeholders managing invoicing and GST compliance aspects.
Our pitch centers on quantifiable client benefits supported by data from deployed customers. For prospective
clients frustrated with incumbent vendors' fragmented systems or manual spreadsheet-based workflows, we
highlight fast deployment timelines (approximately 30 days) and seamless integration with existing enterprise
infrastructure including HRMS and ERP systems. As our brand recognition strengthens and reference customers
accumulate across sectors, word-of-mouth referrals increasingly shorten sales cycles and improve win rates.
Since March 2024, we have shifted our client acquisition focus toward large enterprises (enterprises with annual
revenues exceeding ₹ 50,000 million or employee counts above 5,000). This shift reflects our growing operational
maturity and brand recognition required to compete for larger accounts. Large enterprise clients typically generate
substantially higher annual revenue compared to mid-size accounts while requiring proportionally lower
implementation and ongoing support costs, improving our unit economics.
Execution roadmap focused on sales capacity expansion and sector specialization
We continue strengthening our enterprise sales capabilities by hiring additional sales personnel with enterprise
software sales experience, expanding team capacity in line with demonstrated pipeline conversion metrics. We
are developing industry-specific sales processes for sectors with high corporate travel spend, creating sector-
specific pitch materials and compliance frameworks that address unique requirements. We have begun building
sector-specific proof points that strengthen our enterprise sales motion in previously underrepresented verticals.
In BFSI, we have deployed our platform for Bandhan Bank. In pharmaceuticals, we are in early-stage deployments
with Emcure Pharmaceuticals, a sector characterized by frequent field force travel. These initial deployments
provide valuable case studies and reference customers that accelerate our ability to penetrate similar large
enterprise accounts within each vertical.
As we add large enterprise clients across diverse industries, we anticipate improving brand recognition that creates
a compounding effect on sales efficiency, while the superior unit economics of large enterprise accounts contribute
positively to our profitability.
201Continue to increase our wallet share from existing enterprise clients
Wallet share expansion within hotels and adjacent travel categories
Our existing enterprise client base represents substantial revenue expansion opportunity beyond initial
deployment. Enterprise clients typically begin with limited wallet share allocation to TravelPlus and progressively
increase adoption as they validate platform performance and employee experience. This wallet share ramp-up
occurs through expansion from pilot programs for specific business units to organization-wide rollout, migration
from legacy arrangements or offline agents to our platform, transition from assisted booking to self-booking tools
as employee familiarity increases, and consolidation of previously fragmented vendor relationships.
Beyond wallet share expansion within hotels, we see opportunities to cross-sell adjacent corporate travel needs.
Our meetings, incentives, conferences, and exhibitions (“MICE”) offering, for example, addresses clients'
requirements for group bookings, conference management, and corporate events. As illustrated in our experience
with Eternal (formerly known as Zomato) in the section titled “- Competitive Strengths - Strong client retention
through operational embedding and relationship capital” on page 192, we successfully expanded from core hotel
bookings into air travel and MICE services, demonstrating our ability to grow wallet share within enterprise
accounts. Increasing wallet share from existing clients provides attractive unit economics: we have already
invested in sales cycles and implementations, established operational relationships and platform integrations, and
validated our value proposition through initial deployment.
Systematic expansion through client success team
Our dedicated client success team works closely with clients' procurement, finance, and travel management teams
to monitor utilization patterns, identify expansion opportunities, and address adoption barriers. For clients who
initially deploy TravelPlus for specific travel categories, business units, or employee segments while maintaining
legacy arrangements, our client success team identifies categories where we can add incremental value based on
quantified savings and efficiency improvements from initial deployments.
We focus on ensuring greater employee adoption within deployed client organizations through training programs,
responsive customer support, and continuous expansion of our hotel network coverage. Common adoption
challenges include employee unfamiliarity with self-booking tools, preference for offline agents, or concerns
about limited hotel inventory in specific geographies. Higher adoption levels by employees directly translate to
increased share of enterprise clients' travel spend captured on our platform. Our relationship managers leverage
client satisfaction from initial deployments to build internal business cases within client organizations for broader
adoption, using concrete metrics from pilot business units such as cost savings achieved, policy compliance
improvements, and employee satisfaction scores.
As client relationships mature and wallet share expands, we anticipate revenue growth driven by both client
business growth and increased platform penetration. Clients naturally scale their travel spend as their underlying
businesses expand. By maintaining high service quality and continuously demonstrating value, we position
TravelPlus to capture this organic growth. Combined with systematic wallet share expansion efforts, our client
cohorts demonstrate strong revenue growth over time. As detailed in “ - Competitive Strengths - Strong client
retention through operational embedding and relationship capital'” on page 192, clients onboarded in Fiscal 2023
generated indexed GTV of 2.01 by Year 3 (i.e., by March 31, 2025), representing net GTV retention of 158.51%
from Year 2 (i.e., by March 31, 2024) to Year 3 (i.e., by March 31, 2025). This expansion trajectory—driven by
increased booking volumes, organizational rollout, and adoption of additional platform capabilities—improves
overall revenue visibility and reduces customer acquisition costs as a percentage of revenue.
Expand adjacent corporate travel offerings and target emerging expense management opportunity
Selective expansion into complementary travel categories
While hotels remain our core focus and primary revenue driver, we selectively expand into adjacent corporate
travel categories where client demand justifies investment and where we can leverage our existing operational
capabilities. Our MICE (meetings, incentives, conferences, and events) offering, addresses enterprise
requirements for group bookings, conference management, and corporate events. MICE represents a natural
extension of our hotel booking expertise, requiring similar supplier relationships and service delivery capabilities,
though this remains a nascent offering compared to our core hotel business. India’s corporate MICE market, one
202of the fastest growing markets globally, surged from ₹ 0.4 trillion in Fiscal 2020 to ₹ 0.5 trillion in Fiscal 2025,
and is projected to hit ₹ 1.0 trillion by Fiscal 2030. (Source: 1Lattice Report) We intend to capitalize on this
opportunity through our dedicated MICE team, leveraging our hotel supplier relationships and service delivery
capabilities developed managing corporate hotel bookings.
Our platform includes air travel booking capabilities, integrated with multiple airline distribution channels. While
air travel margins are structurally lower than hotels, clients value the convenience of consolidated booking and
reporting across travel categories. We continue investing in improving the air booking experience through better
loading times, enhanced search functionality, and expanded direct airline integrations. Currently, we have direct
connections with select airlines, with other airlines accessible through distribution feeds. Future investments may
include additional direct airline contracting to improve pricing and service levels, though this remains secondary
to our hotels-focused strategy. The Indian airline market is set to increase from ₹ 1.3 trillion to ₹ 2.0 trillion,
supported by expanding air routes, higher passenger volumes and growing corporate travel activity. (Source:
1Lattice Report)
Early-stage exploration of enterprise expense management
India’s enterprise expense management market represents a large, high-frequency workflow opportunity. Indian
companies (large, medium, micro and small) processed approximately 1,029 million expenses submissions in
FY25, and projected to reach 1,695 million by FY30 (10.5% CAGR). This scale underscores a sizeable adjacent
workflow for full-stack providers. (Source: 1Lattice Report) We see a potential opportunity to extend our platform
into comprehensive expense management - for both travel and non-travel expenses. Our rationale stems from
client demand for unified spend visibility and consolidated workflows. Our existing client relationships position
us well to expand into this adjacent opportunity. We have initiated early-stage pilots to validate demand and refine
product requirements. For example, Titagarh, a leading rail rolling stock manufacturer has deployed our solution
for end-to-end travel and expense workflows. This offering remains early-stage and is not currently monetized.
Opportunity in personal travel and bleisure bookings
We recently launched personal travel booking capabilities on TravelPlus, allowing employees to book leisure
travel using the same corporate rates and supplier relationships we have established for business travel. This
addresses the growing "bleisure" trend where employees extend business trips for personal travel or value access
to corporate negotiated rates for their personal trips with hotel chains, along with wider adoption of corporate
travel management platforms. (Source: 1Lattice Report) While too early to assess adoption metrics or revenue
contribution, this capability deepens employee engagement with our platform and creates additional touchpoints
beyond mandated business travel bookings. If successful, personal travel could represent an incremental revenue
stream with minimal additional infrastructure investment, leveraging our existing hotel network and booking
platform.
These growth strategies are mutually reinforcing. As we acquire large enterprise clients with complex travel
requirements, we validate demand for adjacent offerings such as MICE and expense management that become
expansion vectors within existing accounts.
Strengthen hotel supplier relationships and expand private label footprint
Deepening supplier partnerships to improve margins and service quality
Our hotel supplier network comprises over 25,000 active hotels, in India. The number of active hotels on our
TravelPlus grew from 14,795 as of March 31, 2023 to 27,247 as of September 30, 2025. We intend to continue
strengthening these supplier relationships through consistent booking volumes, reliable payment terms, and
operational collaboration. Deeper supplier partnerships position us to improve margins over time through volume-
based rebates as we scale bookings with key properties, improved commission rates as relationships mature, and
favorable payment terms that optimize working capital. Strong supplier relationships also provide operational
benefits including better responsiveness to service issues affecting corporate travelers and willingness to
accommodate special client requirements that differentiate our service delivery.
203Selective expansion of private label hotel footprint
Our platform generates comprehensive data on corporate travel demand patterns across geographies, property
types, and price segments. We leverage this demand intelligence to guide selective expansion of our private label
hotel footprint where corporate demand justifies additional supply. As of September 30, 2025, we have onboarded
1,379 properties under the FabHotels and Via brands. Via, launched in September 2025, operates at a lower price
point than FabHotels within similar markets, addressing budget-conscious corporate travel segments. FabHotels
and Via intend to continue to expand in high-demand markets identified through booking pattern analysis. Private
label expansion enables us to capture additional margin while ensuring consistent service quality and inventory
availability for enterprise clients in high-volume business corridors. We will continue to evaluate opportunities
for private label brand expansion based on demand patterns and market gaps, ensuring each brand serves distinct
customer segments.
Sustained technology investment to enhance platform capabilities and operational efficiency
Ongoing platform development across customer-facing and operational capabilities
We have consistently invested in technology development since our inception, maintaining a 53-member
technology team as on September 30, 2025. Our continued technology investments focus on three primary areas:
enhancing customer-facing platform capabilities, deploying AI/ML across operations, and expanding backend
infrastructure to support scale. These investments enable us to improve user experience, increase operational
efficiency, and strengthen our competitive differentiation as enterprise clients increasingly prioritize technology-
enabled solutions. In the six months ended September 30, 2025 and Fiscals 2025, 2024 and 2023, we incurred ₹
38.34 million, ₹ 74.89 million, ₹ 69.02 million and ₹ 53.14 million on technology expense (comprising of website
development and related maintenance, communication costs and payment processing charges).
On the customer-facing side, we intend to continue investing in booking flow optimization to reduce time-to-
completion and improve conversion rates, enhanced reporting and analytics dashboards providing enterprises with
deeper spending visibility and customization capabilities, mobile app improvements addressing the growing
preference for on-the-go booking and trip management, and improved platform performance including faster load
times and more responsive search functionality. These enhancements directly impact client satisfaction and
employee adoption rates within enterprise accounts. Better user experiences translate to higher booking volumes
captured on our platform and reduced support burden, as intuitive interfaces minimize user confusion and decrease
assistance requests.
Expanding GenAI deployment and infrastructure capabilities
We have deployed GenAI capabilities across multiple operational areas and continue expanding these
applications. Our AI-powered voice systems coordinate with hotel suppliers for booking confirmations and
communications. We employ AI for quality control monitoring, analyzing traveler feedback patterns and service
issue indicators to identify potential problems before they impact corporate travelers. Generative AI models
review operational workflows and identify process improvement opportunities. In sales and client engagement,
204AI-driven capabilities support proposal generation. These GenAI investments deliver operational leverage,
enabling our teams to handle larger client volumes without proportional headcount expansion. AI-enhanced self-
service capabilities deflect routine support requests, allowing our teams to focus on complex issues requiring
human judgment.
We intend to continue investing in backend infrastructure including expanded integration capabilities with
enterprise systems, security and compliance enhancements addressing evolving data protection requirements, and
platform scalability improvements to handle growing transaction volumes. These infrastructure investments
enable faster client onboarding, position us to serve regulated industries with stringent requirements, and allow
revenue growth without proportional technology cost increases.
Pursue strategic inorganic growth opportunities in a fragmented market
Many enterprises in India continue using traditional travel management companies, offline agents, or fragmented
booking approaches that lack comprehensive workflow automation and service infrastructure. (Source: 1Lattice
report) We intend to supplement our organic growth strategies by selectively pursuing strategic acquisitions.
Given the fragmented nature of demand, we believe that such acquisitions will enable us to consolidate demand
on the TravelPlus platform. We will identify target opportunities based on strict financial and operational criteria,
focusing on value-accretive transactions that can accelerate our market penetration in key economic hubs.
Our acquisition strategy shall focus on entities where we can digitize offline portfolios and accelerate customer
acquisition by cost-effectively securing established corporate rosters currently served by legacy manual processes.
By migrating these relationships to our automated workflows and replacing manual operations with our
technology stack, we aim to unlock immediate efficiency gains and drive GTV and margin expansion, ensuring
that such acquisitions become EBITDA-accretive within a short timeframe, thereby acting as a consolidator in the
unorganized and fragmented market. As of the date of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus, we have not entered
into any definitive agreements for such acquisitions.
Business operations
We launched TravelPlus in 2020 to digitize the underserved corporate hotel booking market, leveraging the deep
supply-side expertise gained from managing FabHotels since 2015. TravelPlus combines enterprise-grade
workflow technology with comprehensive service infrastructure purpose-built for hotel booking management. We
maintain a strategic private-label portfolio comprising FabHotels and Via brands (the latter introduced in
September 2025), which cumulatively included 1,379 onboarded properties as of September 30, 2025.
TravelPlus platform
TravelPlus is India’s largest hotels-focused corporate travel management platform for enterprise clients, in terms
of revenue from operations in Fiscal 2025. (Source: 1Lattice Report) The TravelPlus platform delivers both
process excellence - workflow automation, policy compliance, GST-compliant invoicing, real-time analytics, and
expense management; and service excellence - dedicated relationship managers, 24/7 human concierge, and active
hotel supplier management. We also offer complementary travel services including flight and ground
transportation bookings to provide comprehensive travel solutions through the platform. We have developed the
TravelPlus mobile application for both Android and iOS, enabling employees to access corporate travel
management features from their smartphones.
Process capabilities
TravelPlus assists in digitising and automating the entire travel and expense workflow, delivering significant
process improvements for enterprises:
• End-to-end digitisation and modular customizable approval workflows. The platform offers intuitive,
consumer-like user-interface for travel policies, approvals, bookings, expense management, and
reporting. The workflow digitization includes hierarchical approval systems with manager-level controls,
modification capabilities, and automated routing based on booking value, trip duration, and corporate
hierarchy. Approvers receive real-time notifications and can review, modify, or approve bookings
through mobile and desktop interfaces, eliminating email-based coordination delays.

206Approvals pending for processing on the administrative interface of the TravelPlus platform.
• GST-compliant invoicing and bespoke invoice formats. TravelPlus provides consolidated GST invoices,
automated at the state level, enabling GST input credit recovery and eliminating leakage. These are
provided in customizable formats matching client ERP requirements, and proper input tax credit
documentation. This feature addresses the approximately 10% GST credit leakage due to improper
invoicing by traditional booking methods. (Source: 1Lattice Report)

• Comprehensive reporting and analytics. Comprehensive spend visibility with custom data cuts by
department, location, employee, time period, and travel purpose. Enterprises can analyze spending
patterns, identify cost optimization opportunities, monitor policy compliance rates, and generate
executive dashboards for strategic decision-making.
208Reporting and analytics on the TravelPlus platform.
• Policy automation and enforcement. Multi-level travel policies can be set at department, designation,
location and employee levels, with automated enforcement and approval workflows. Companies can
configure different hotel categories, spending limits, and booking rules based on employee seniority, trip
purpose and destination. The platform automatically enforces these policies at the point of booking,
preventing out-of-policy reservations while allowing manager overrides when business requirements
justify exceptions.

• ERP integration. Seamless connectivity with major enterprise resource planning systems including SAP,
Oracle, and other platforms, enabling automated data synchronization, reduced manual data entry, and
consolidated financial management across the organization's travel operations.
• Expense management. End-to-end expense workflows covering submission, approval, and processing,
integrated with the booking and invoicing data. Employees can file expenses digitally, store receipts, and
track approvals, while finance teams gain real-time visibility and faster book closure. This eliminates
manual, email-based processes and reduces wasted hours.

Service capabilities
TravelPlus is designed to address the unique challenges of India’s corporate travel market. Service capabilities of
the TravelPlus platform include:
• Dedicated relationship manager. Each enterprise client is assigned a dedicated account manager for
personalised service and escalation management. The relationship manager provides ongoing
engagement, strategic consultation on travel program optimization and policy recommendations based
on spending patterns, and serve as the primary point of contact for client specific requirements.
• Active supplier management. We actively manage our hotel marketplace through supplier vetting,
comprehensive onboarding and training protocols, quality assurance protocols, ongoing quality
assurance monitoring, and performance management. Hotels in our network understand GST
documentation protocols, and adhere to service standards that meet enterprise expectations.
• 24/7 human concierge. Round-the-clock human concierge infrastructure for real-time issue resolution of
problems encountered by corporate travelers. We also have established escalation protocols and direct
supplier relationships enable fast resolution of service issues. When problems occur, our operations team
coordinates directly with hotels, leverages existing relationships, and ensures that issues are resolved
promptly to minimize impact on the traveling employee and their business objectives.
• Implementation. The platform can be rolled out in under 30 days, minimising disruption and accelerating
value delivery.
• Near zero check-in denials. Through strict vendor selection and supply control, TravelPlus significantly
reduces denied check-ins and poor service quality.
• Duty of care protocols. Corporations have legal and ethical responsibilities to ensure employee safety
during business travel, particularly when employees visit unfamiliar locations, travel to regions with
safety concerns, or encounter emergency situations. TravelPlus enables enterprises to monitor employee
travel in real-time, and verify check-in confirmations.
• Rapid on-ground resolution. Established escalation protocols and direct supplier relationships enable fast
resolution of service issues.
Other travel services
In addition to core domestic hotel booking services, TravelPlus offers enterprise clients end-to-end travel solutions
with the ability to book flights, ground transportation, international hotels for the employees of enterprise clients.
Flights
212We enable the employees of our clients to search, book, ticket and manage their itinerary through our integrated
platform and mobile application. We maintain direct agreements with two of the largest airlines in India by
passenger volume, under which we receive real-time schedules, inventory, fares, and ticketing capabilities
pursuant to agreed service levels and commercial terms. These agreements also support negotiated corporate fares
for our clients. For all other carriers, we source flight content and booking capability through third-party feed
providers, such as TBO Tek Limited. These feeds deliver real-time availability, pricing, and itinerary updates to
enable search, policy application, booking, and itinerary management on our platform.

213Flight booking request and manager level approvals
Ground transportation
TravelPlus enables booking of ground transportation including buses, trains and cabs. We provide bus booking
capabilities through integrations with third-party bus content providers. These feeds supply real-time route
schedules, seat availability and seat maps, fares and applicable fees, boarding and drop-off points, and applicable
cancellation and rescheduling terms. The content within our platform enables search, policy application, approval
workflows, booking and e-ticket issuance, changes and cancellations, and itinerary synchronization across our
web and mobile applications.
We also provide train booking capabilities through an online request and offline fulfilment workflow. Employees
select the desired train, class, and travel preferences and submit a booking request within the application; upon
any required approvals, fulfilment is completed offline in accordance with client travel policies and fare limits.
Post-fulfilment, the confirmed passenger name record and e-ticket details are captured and synchronized to the
traveler’s itinerary in the platform and mobile applications, with confirmations and invoices generated through
the platform.
We provide cab booking capabilities through an online request and offline fulfilment workflow. Employees
submit ride requests via the website or mobile application, specifying pickup and drop-off locations along with
the date and time; requests are routed through client-defined policy and approval workflows. Upon approval,
fulfilment is coordinated offline by our teams through our network of third-party ground transportation vendors.

215International hotels
Beyond TravelPlus’ managed marketplace of over 25,000 active hotels in India, we also provide the employees
of our clients access to over 800,000 international hotels sourced through integrations with third-party content
providers such as Expedia, ITQ, and other global distribution systems. These feeds supply live, real-time
availability, room types, amenities, rate plans, and cancellation or amendment terms.
Value proposition for corporate travelers
We believe that corporate travelers—the employees who book and experience business travel through TravelPlus
benefit from capabilities designed to make business travel simpler, more reliable, and more productive.
• Simplified booking experience. Traditional corporate booking involves navigating internal approval
processes, coordinating with travel desks through email or phone, waiting for booking confirmations,
and tracking documentation for expense reimbursement. TravelPlus provides consumer-like booking
experiences within corporate policy guardrails: intuitive mobile and desktop interfaces enable quick
property searches with relevant filters, transparent pricing within policy limits, one-click booking with
automatic policy compliance checks, instant confirmations with digital documentation, and seamless
expense submission eliminating manual data entry.
• Service support. Business travel inherently involves certain uncertainties. TravelPlus travelers know that
24/7 human concierge is available if issues arise, that properties in our managed marketplace are vetted
and trained on corporate requirements, that billing documentation will be proper and GST-compliant,
and that any service problems will be addressed rapidly to minimize impact on their business trip. This
enables travelers to focus on their business objectives rather than worrying about travel logistics.
• Time optimization. Business travelers value time efficiency: rapid booking completion allows them to
focus on work rather than travel planning, streamlined approval workflows eliminate waiting periods,
automated confirmations and documentation reduce administrative follow-up, and reliable service
minimizes time wasted on issue resolution during trips.
• Consistent experience across locations. Employees traveling to multiple cities for business need
consistent, predictable experiences regardless of destination. TravelPlus' managed marketplace with
standardized quality protocols, active supplier management, and performance monitoring delivers this
consistency even in Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities where hotel supply is predominantly unbranded and quality
varies significantly in the open market.
Value proposition for enterprise clients
Enterprises in India face significant challenges managing corporate travel: operational inefficiencies consuming
employee and travel desk time, compliance gaps resulting in financial losses and policy violations, service
inconsistencies disrupting business operations and employee productivity, and lack of visibility preventing
strategic decision-making and cost optimization. TravelPlus addresses these challenges through integrated process
and service capabilities.
• Operational efficiency and time savings. Through TravelPlus’ automated workflows employees or the
travel desks of enterprise clients search available hotels matching travel policy parameters, select
appropriate options with transparent pricing, submit bookings through one-click interfaces, and receive
automated confirmations with all required documentation. For enterprises processing thousands of
bookings annually, this represents substantial time savings translating to employee productivity gains
and reduced travel desk operational costs. As per the 1Lattice Report, an end-to-end corporate travel
platform delivers 95% policy compliance rates as compared to 50% to 70% while using traditional
booking channels, one to two hours processing times as compared to two to three days while using
traditional booking channels, and 10 to 20% cost savings through consolidated booking fees and
negotiated rates.
• Financial recovery and compliance. Enterprise clients report additional savings of approximately 10%
in GST credit recovery compared to platforms lacking proper invoicing capabilities. (Source: 1Lattice
Report) TravelPlus' automated GST-compliant invoicing generates proper documentation with state-
level consolidated billing, customizable formats matching client ERP requirements, and complete input
tax credit support.
216• Service reliability and business continuity. Service failures during business travel create costs far
exceeding the hotel booking value: lost employee productivity when check-in issues delay business
meetings, reputational damage when clients or partners witness unprofessional travel arrangements,
employee dissatisfaction when business trips involve service problems, and management escalation time
when issues require senior intervention. TravelPlus' active supplier management, 24/7 human concierge,
and rapid issue resolution capabilities minimize these service failures.
• Visibility and strategic insights. Enterprises typically lack real-time visibility into travel spending
patterns, policy compliance rates, supplier performance, and cost optimization opportunities when using
fragmented booking channels or manual processes. TravelPlus provides comprehensive analytics with
custom data cuts by department, location, employee, time period, and travel purpose. Corporate travel
managers can identify spending trends, negotiate better rates with frequently used suppliers, optimize
policies based on actual booking patterns, and generate executive dashboards demonstrating travel
program performance and return on investment.
• Duty of care and employee safety. Corporations have legal and ethical responsibilities to ensure employee
safety during business travel, particularly when employees visit unfamiliar locations, travel to regions
with safety concerns, or encounter emergency situations. TravelPlus enables enterprises to monitor
employee travel in real-time, verify check-in confirmations, receive alerts for high-risk travel, and
execute emergency response procedures.
Supply management
As of September 30, 2025, TravelPlus has a managed marketplace of over 25,000 active hotels in India, serving
corporate travel demand across economy and premium segments.
Supply management through the managed marketplace
By operating our private-label economy hotel brands, FabHotels and Via, we have developed operational expertise
in managing economy hotel supply. We manage hotel supply through:
• Supplier vetting. We vet hotel suppliers for inclusion in TravelPlus' managed marketplace based on guest
ratings and infrastructure standards.
• Coaching. Properties meeting threshold rating requirements receive remote coaching before their first
guest arrival to ensure familiarity with corporate booking requirements, invoicing protocols, and service
standards.
• Tech integration. Hotel inventory and availability are integrated into our platform through multiple
channels: Alfred, our proprietary hotel management system, third-party channel manager integrations,
and third-party API-based feeds such as feeds from Expedia. This multi-channel integration approach
enables real-time booking coordination and inventory management across our managed marketplace of
over 25,000 active hotels, in India.
• Ongoing monitoring. Ongoing quality assurance monitoring is enabled via performance dashboards that
track guest ratings, issue resolution times, and occupancy metrics. Real-time alerts and feedback loops
help identify service lapses and trigger corrective actions.
Supply management through private-label economy hotel brands
To manage our supply, we operate two private-label asset light economy hotel brands, FabHotels and Via. As of
September 30, 2025, we have onboarded 1,379 properties under the FabHotels and Via brands. Via, launched in
September 2025, operates at a lower price point than FabHotels within similar markets, addressing budget-
conscious corporate travel segments.
217Webpage through which FabHotels and Via bookings can be made.
218Our FabHotels and Via properties have passed a vetting process that evaluates service standards, location
suitability and operational reliability, across more than 76 cities in India, as of September 30, 2025. Each property
onboarded to our private-label economy hotel brands undergoes the following:
• Onboarding audit. Properties onboarded under our FabHotels and Via brands undergo structured audits
based on predefined quality parameters including linen standards, infrastructure conditions, mattress
quality, room paintwork, power backup availability, and other operational requirements. An initial audit
establishes baseline property conditions and identifies required improvements. Subsequent audits verify
completion of agreed enhancements, with additional audits conducted as needed based on work progress.
This iterative audit process ensures properties meet brand standards before commencing operations under
our private-label brands, while maintaining flexibility to accommodate varying property readiness
timelines.
• Structured technological enablement. Alfred, our proprietary hotel management platform, provides
property owners and managers with tools for inventory management, booking coordination, and
operational workflows.
• Coaching program and ongoing audits. Our coaching programme provides property managers with
regular workshops on service delivery, guest engagement, and compliance. Training is tailored to meet
the needs of both leisure and corporate travelers and include modules on hygiene protocols, and digital
operations. Supplier development is a key focus, with training extended to vendor partners to improve
their capabilities and alignment with brand standards.
• Ongoing support. Ongoing support is available through 24/7 helplines, issue resolution workflows who
assist with operational queries and escalations.
• Feedback loops. Feedback loops are built into the supplier dashboards, allowing hotel partners to receive
performance insights based on guest surveys, app reviews, and monthly reports. Feedback is shared
regularly with hotel partners to drive continuous improvement. Predictive analytics and AI tools are used
to forecast demand and identify service gaps, enabling proactive adjustments.
• Escalation mechanisms. Escalation mechanisms are defined through tiered protocols for service failures,
automated alerts for unresolved issues, and resolution timelines based on service level agreements.
Private-label economy hotel brands’ technology infrastructure
Our private-label economy hotel technology infrastructure is centered on Alfred, our proprietary hotel
management platform that provides property owners and managers with tools for inventory management, booking
coordination, and operational workflows across the network. Alfred serves as the operational backbone for our
private-label economy hotel portfolio, enabling portfolio-wide visibility and control. Guest-facing applications
support cross-platform deployment and allow travelers to search and book stays at FabHotels and Via properties
from both Android and iOS devices. These applications interface with a microservices-based backend, where core
platform components are decoupled to enable independent scaling. This architecture allows the platform to scale
as property count and transaction volumes grow.
219Alfred, our proprietary booking hotel management platform
220Private-label economy hotel brands’ hotel acquisition channels
As of September 30, 2025, we had a 24-member business development team that operates on ground across our
target markets in India to source and contract properties for conversion under our private-label economy hotel
brands, FabHotels and Via. This team constitutes our primary hotel acquisition channel for the private-label
portfolio and is responsible for end-to-end acquisition activities, including market mapping and lead generation,
property outreach, commercial negotiations, and execution of definitive agreements. Following contract
execution, the team coordinates onboarding and brand conversion activities with our operations, legal, finance,
and technology functions, including property readiness, content and photography, system setup in our Alfred
platform (inventory, rates, and availability), channel configurations, and staff training, leading to activation of the
property on our distribution channels.
Private-label economy hotel brands customer distribution channels
Customers can book FabHotels and Via properties through multiple distribution channels including our direct
channels, comprising our website and our mobile applications for Android and iOS and third-party OTAs. Our
FabHotels and Via properties form part of the supply of TravelPlus’ managed marketplace enabling employees
of our enterprise clients to book FabHotels and Via properties for their corporate travel, subject to client travel
policies and approval workflows. Our direct channels provide search, real-time availability, rate display, booking,
and payment, with booking confirmations and tax invoices issued in accordance with applicable requirements.
Inventory, rates, and content for FabHotels and Via are managed centrally through our proprietary systems and
distributed to OTAs via channel manager and/or API integrations, with reservations confirmed into our central
reservation and property management workflows under the commercial terms of each partner.
Value proposition for hotel suppliers
Hotel properties participating in TravelPlus' managed marketplace gain access to reliable corporate demand and
operational benefits that complement their direct sales efforts and other distribution channels.
• Access to corporate and business traveler demand. Enterprise clients typically generate substantial,
predictable hotel demand as employees travel for business purposes regularly. However, hotel properties,
particularly independent and unbranded hotels in the economy segment, often lack direct relationships
with corporate travel decision-makers and struggle to access this demand efficiently. TravelPlus provides
immediate access to enterprise clients with active travel policies, delivering qualified corporate bookings
without requiring hotels to establish individual corporate relationships or navigate complex procurement
processes.
221• Operational simplification. Corporate travel bookings traditionally require hotels to manage multiple
touchpoints: responding to booking inquiries, providing rate quotations, confirming reservations,
coordinating with travel desks, generating GST-compliant invoices matching corporate requirements,
and handling post-stay billing inquiries. TravelPlus standardizes and simplifies these operations through
automated workflows, centralized booking management, streamlined invoicing processes, and
consolidated payment handling.
• Quality feedback and performance improvement. Properties receive structured feedback on their service
quality based on traveler ratings, booking patterns, and performance metrics. This visibility enables
hotels to understand corporate traveler expectations, identify areas for improvement, and enhance their
operations to better serve business travelers.
• Training and support. TravelPlus provides onboarding training to hotels covering corporate invoicing
requirements, GST documentation protocols, quality standards expected by business travelers, and
platform operating procedures. This training helps properties, particularly in the economy segment where
staff may have limited corporate hospitality experience, deliver service quality meeting enterprise client
expectations. Ongoing operational support helps hotels resolve issues, understand policy requirements,
and optimize their participation in the managed marketplace.
Business model
Our revenue model comprises commissions and convenience fees across both the TravelPlus platform and our
private-label economy hotel brands. For hotel bookings made through TravelPlus, we earn commissions from
hotels, and charge a convenience fee to clients for each booking made. For flight bookings, we earn commissions
from suppliers and charge a convenience fee per ticket to the client. Commission rates and convenience fee
schedules vary by supplier, market, customer contract and booking channel. For our private-label economy hotel
brands, we earn commissions from hotels and charge a convenience fee on bookings. Commissions are typically
structured as a percentage of room revenue and vary by contract and market.
Technology infrastructure
Our proprietary systems form the foundation of our operating leverage and enabling significant efficiencies across
business processes and operations. We have developed enterprise-grade technology architecture that underpins
the TravelPlus platform, delivering scalable, secure and customizable travel management solutions for mid to
large enterprises. The platform is designed to support thousands of concurrent enterprise users, with real-time
processing capabilities. Its modular architecture allows for extensive enterprise-specific configurations without
requiring modifications to the core platform, thereby ensuring flexibility and stability. Our platform is hosted on
enterprise-grade cloud infrastructure, ensuring high availability, scalability, and security for our enterprise clients.
We follow a mobile-first approach, with applications for iOS and Android that include user interfaces optimized
for corporate travelers. These applications support booking, approvals, expense submissions, and reporting,
ensuring accessibility and convenience across user roles. The platform incorporates advanced workflow
automation tools including:
• A dynamic policy engine that enables complex approval hierarchies, exception handling, and real-time
policy compliance monitoring.
• Automated invoicing capabilities with state-level GST compliance and customizable invoice formats
tailored to enterprise accounting requirements.
• A real-time analytics platform that provides spend visibility, policy adherence tracking and customizable
dashboards for reporting and decision-making.
We have invested in embedding AI and ML capabilities across our operations, service delivery, and sales
processes. These AI implementations enhance efficiency, improve quality, and enable capabilities that manual
processes cannot deliver at scale.
Our platform’s architecture enables extensive customization across travel policies, approval workflows, invoicing
formats, and reporting structures, addressing the diverse operational needs of mid to large sized enterprises clients.
Our proprietary technology has supported the deployment of new services including expense management and
ERP integration.
222We have a dedicated in-house technology team comprising 53 employees, as of September 30, 2025. Our
technology team has adopted a continuous improvement, high frequency testing approach to our business, aimed
at improving both traffic and conversion rates, while maintaining reliability. We use our technology infrastructure
to improve the user experience and optimize the efficiency of our business operations.
Clients
During the six months ended September 30, 2025, TravelPlus served 474 enterprise clients, including over 100
NSE-listed companies and over 50 multinational corporations. We served a diversified portfolio of enterprise
clients in the six months ended September 30, 2025, through our TravelPlus platform, including several marquee
clients such as ABInBev, Astral Limited, Comviva, Emcure Pharmaceuticals, Eternal (formerly Zomato;
including Blinkit and others), Jyothy Labs, NIIT, Shalimar Paints, Tata Projects, Titan Company, Ujjivan Small
Finance Bank, and Zepto Our number of active enterprise clients grew from 314 as of March 31, 2023 to 474 as
of September 30, 2025. Further, our average GTV per active enterprise client increased at a CAGR of 47.42%
from ₹ 4.73 million in Fiscal 2023 to ₹ 10.28 million in Fiscal 2025 and was ₹ 10.81 million in the six months
ended September 30, 2025.
We believe that the ability to address the requirements of enterprise clients enables us to obtain additional business
from existing clients as well as acquire new clients. Our ongoing active engagement with customers allows us to
plan the scaling of our technology platform, enhance our ability to benefit from increasing economies of scale,
thereby ensuring a competitive cost structure to achieve sustainable growth and profitability.
Client acquisition
TravelPlus follows a structured, multi-phase approach to acquiring enterprise clients. The process begins with
initial engagement, where corporate travel decision-makers are educated on the dual imperatives of process
efficiency and service excellence. This is followed by platform demonstrations that showcase TravelPlus’
capabilities in workflow automation and policy compliance.
Once interest is established, clients are onboarded for pilot implementations involving limited user groups. These
pilots allow enterprises to validate service quality and operational benefits before committing to full deployment.
Upon successful pilot validation, TravelPlus proceeds to full-scale implementation.
The enterprise sales cycle is inherently gradual, with each client relationship requiring sustained effort over several
months, from initial contact to contract execution. Implementation averages at 30 days, covering policy
configuration and employee training. Value realisation occurs progressively as clients integrate TravelPlus into
their operations, unlocking efficiency gains, financial recoveries, and service improvements.
Privacy and data security
Data security is crucial to our business operations. We collect and utilize collected user information to develop,
provide, and enhance our platforms and offerings. We have internal rules and policies to govern how we may use
and share personal information, as well as protocols, technologies and systems in place to ensure that such
information will not be accessed or disclosed improperly. Users must acknowledge the terms and conditions of
the user agreement before accessing our services, under which they consent to our collection, use, and disclosure
of their data in compliance with applicable laws and regulations, and we will only use the data of our users under
the conditions agreed by our users.

control protocols which cover the full lifecycle of data processing including data collection, data quality
management, data encryption and transportation, data storage security, data backup and recovery, data processing
and analytics, proper use of data, and data destruction and disposition. We adopt a data encryption system intended
to ensure the secured storage and transmission of data, and prevent any unauthorized member of the public or
third parties from accessing or using our data in any unauthorized manner. We use firewalls to protect access to
our networks and to the servers and databases on which we store confidential data, restrict access to our network
by virtual private network, and conduct periodic audits of data access and modifications of our network. In
addition, we have developed and use internal procedures to protect the personal information of our users. We also
work with several third party security companies to help us with regular audits of our infrastructure, websites and
apps. This allows us to continuously monitor our risk and compliance and make an in-depth assessment to
maximise our security coverage and provides us with continuous compliance monitoring of all our platforms,
regardless of where they are running.
223Our data protection and privacy policies are focused on ensuring that: (i) our collection of personal data is
conducted in accordance with applicable laws and regulations; (ii) personal data we collect are reasonable for the
purposes for which they are collected; and (iii) our users are informed of the purposes for which their personal
data are collected and used and their rights with respect to such data. In addition, to minimize the risk of data loss
or leakage, we maintain contingency, redundancy and conduct regular data backup and data recovery tests.
For further information, see “Key Regulations and Policies in India” and “Risk Factors – We may be exposed to
risks relating to processing, storage, use and disclosure of data of our clients. The materialisation of these risks
may have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows” on pages
226 and 48.
Competition
The corporate travel market in India is highly competitive, with established players having market presence and
relationships with key stakeholders. Our competitors include both large corporate and small OTAs and hotel
supply management companies. Given our business and strategies, we are well positioned to compete with these
companies. For further information on the competition we face in the markets in which we operate, see “Industry
Overview” on page 149.

Industry Specific Legislations applicable to our Company
The Information Technology Act, 2000 (the “IT Act”) and the rules made thereunder
The IT Act seeks to: (i) provide legal recognition to transactions carried out by various means of electronic data
interchange involving alternatives to paper-based methods of communication and storage of information; (ii)
facilitate electronic filing of documents; and (iii) create a mechanism for the authentication of electronic
documentation through digital signatures. It further empowers the Government of India to direct any of its
agencies to intercept, monitor or decrypt any information in the interest of sovereignty, integrity, defence and
security of India, among other things. In respect of the e-commerce sector, the IT Act recognizes contracts
concluded through electronic means, protects intermediaries in respect of third-party information liability and
creates liability for failure to protect sensitive personal data. It also prescribes civil and criminal liability including
fines and imprisonment for computer related offences including those relating to unauthorized access to computer
systems, tampering with or unauthorised manipulation of any computer, computer system or computer network
and damaging computer systems, and creates liability for negligence in dealing with or handling any sensitive
personal data or information in a computer resource and in maintaining reasonable security practices and
procedures in relation thereto, among others.
In exercise of the power conferred under the IT Act, the Department of Information Technology, (“DoIT”)
Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology, Government of India, in April 2011, notified the Information
Technology (Reasonable Security Practices and Procedures and Sensitive Personal Data or Information) Rules,
2011 (“ IT Security Rules”) which prescribe directions for the collection, disclosure, transfer and protection of
sensitive personal data by a body corporate or any person acting on behalf of a body corporate. The IT Security
Rules require every such body corporate to provide a privacy policy for handling and dealing with personal
information, including sensitive personal data, ensuring security of all personal data collected by it and publishing
such policy on its website.
The DoIT also notified the Information Technology (Intermediaries Guidelines and Digital Media Ethics Code)
Rules, 2021 (“IT Intermediary Rules”) requiring intermediaries receiving, storing, transmitting, or providing
any service with respect to electronic messages to not knowingly host, publish, transmit, select or modify any
information prohibited under the IT Intermediaries Rules, to disable hosting, publishing, transmission, selection
or modification of such information once they become aware of it, as well as specifying the due diligence to be
observed by intermediaries.
Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (“DPDP Act”)
The Indian parliament passed the DPDP Act on August 9, 2023 to replace the existing data protection provision,
as contained in Section 43A of the IT Act. The DPDP Act seeks to balance the rights of individuals to protect their
personal data, with the need to process personal data for lawful and other incidental purposes. The DPDP Act
provides that personal data may be processed only for a lawful purpose after obtaining the consent of the individual
and a notice has to be given before seeking consent.
226An individual whose data is being processed (data principal), will have the right to inter alia (i) obtain information
about processing; (ii) seek correction and erasure of personal data; and (iii) nominate another person to exercise
rights in the event of death or incapacity. The DPDP Act lays down several duties for the data principal. As per
the DPDP Act, data principal shall not inter alia (i) register a false or frivolous grievance or complaint; and (ii)
furnish any false particulars or impersonate another person in specified cases.
It further imposes certain obligations on data fiduciaries including (i) make reasonable efforts to ensure the
accuracy and completeness of data, (ii) build reasonable security safeguards to prevent a data breach, (iii) inform
the Data Protection Board of India (the “DPB”) and affected persons in the event of a breach, and (iv) erase
personal data as soon as the purpose has been met and retention is not necessary for legal purposes (storage
limitation).
On November 13, 2025, the Central Government notified the Digital Personal Data Protection Rules, 2025, which
operationalise the DPDP Act by prescribing detailed compliance requirements, including mandatory notice-and-
consent protocols, timelines and procedures for breach reporting to the DPB, consent-verification standards for
digital and automated interfaces, encryption and security safeguards proportionate to the nature of processing,
age-verification and parental-consent mechanisms for processing the data of children, obligations relating to
significant data fiduciaries, and specific protections for vulnerable data principals.
Consumer Protection Act, 2019 (the “Consumer Protection Act”) and rules made thereunder
The Consumer Protection Act, which repeals the Consumer Protection Act, 1986, was designed and enacted to
provide simpler and quicker access to redress consumer grievances. It seeks, inter alia to promote and protects
the interests of consumers against deficiencies and defects in goods or services and secure the rights of a consumer
against unfair trade practices, which may be practiced by manufacturers, service providers and traders. The
definition of “consumer” has been expanded under the Consumer Protection Act to include persons engaged in
offline or online transactions through electronic means or by tele-shopping or direct-selling or multi-level
marketing. It provides for the establishment of consumer disputes redressal forums and commissions for the
purposes of redressal of consumer grievances. In addition to awarding compensation and/or passing corrective
orders, the forums and commissions under the Consumer Protection Act, in cases of misleading and false
advertisements, are empowered to impose imprisonment for a term which may extend to two years and fine which
may extend to ten lakhs. In cases of manufacturing for sale or storing, selling or distributing or importing products
containing an adulterant, the imprisonment may vary between six months to seven years and fine between one
lakh to ten lakh depending upon the nature of injury to the consumer.
Few of the substantial changes introduced by the Consumer Protection Act, 2019 are inclusion of the food and e-
commerce industry. The term “e-commerce” has been defined to refer to the buying and selling of goods or
services over digital or electronic network. Therefore, the Consumer Protection Act aims to cover entities that are
involved in the process of selling goods or services online. However, rendering of services free of charge or under
the contract of personal service is not covered under the definition of “service” under the Consumer Protection
Act.
In line with the Consumer Protection Act, the Ministry of Consumer Affairs, Food and Public Distribution,
Government of India has also notified the Consumer Protection (E-Commerce) Rules, 2020 (“E-Commerce
Rules”) which provides a framework to regulate the marketing, sale and purchase of goods and services online.
The E-Commerce Rules govern e-commerce entities which own, operate, or manage, a digital or electronic facility
or platform for electronic commerce, and sellers of products and services.
Draft E-Commerce Policy, 2019 (“2019 Draft Policy”)
In March 2019, the DPIIT had invited comments from stakeholders and the public on the 2019 Draft Policy.
Among other items, the 2019 Draft Policy proposed that measures should be taken to regulate cross-border data
flow, establish a level playing field for domestic and foreign e-commerce players, boost sale of domestic products
through e-commerce, and generally regulate e-commerce in India. DPIIT is currently working on a revised draft
policy.
Guidelines for Approval of Online Travel Aggregators, 2018 (“OTA Guidelines”)
The Ministry of Tourism has issued the OTA Guidelines as part of a voluntary scheme for intermediaries and
agents for recognizing them as approved OTAs for selling travel related products and services, on behalf of
227suppliers using the internet as a medium. The objective of the OTA Guidelines is to encourage quality standards
and services in this category so as to promote tourism in India and abroad. The OTA will be recognized by Ministry
of tourism for five years and reapproval may be granted in line with the provisions of the OTA Guidelines.
Guidelines for Recognition / Renewal as an Approved Travel Agent
The Ministry of Tourism has issued the Guidelines for Recognition / Renewal as an Approved Travel Agent. The
aims and objectives of the scheme for recognition of Travel Agent are to encourage quality standard and service
in this category so as to promote tourism in India. This is a voluntary scheme open to all bonafide travel agencies
to bring them in organized sector.
Intellectual Property Laws
Intellectual property in India enjoys protection under both common law and statutes. Under statutes, India provides
for copyright protection under the Copyright Act, 1957 and trademark protection under the Trade Marks Act,
1999. These enactments provide for the protection of intellectual property by imposing civil and criminal liability
for infringement. In addition to the domestic laws, India is party to several international intellectual property
related instruments including the Patent Cooperation Treaty, 1970, the Paris Convention for the Protection of
Industrial Property, 1883, the Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works, 1886, the
Universal Copyright Convention adopted at Geneva in 1952, the International Convention for the Protection of
Performers, Producers of Phonograms and Broadcasting Organizations, 1961, and as a member of the World Trade
Organisation, India also is a signatory to the Agreement on Trade Related aspects of Intellectual Property Rights.
Trade Marks Act, 1999 (the “Trade Marks Act”)
The Trade Marks Act governs the statutory protection of trademarks and prevention of the use of fraudulent marks
in India. Indian law permits the registration of trademarks for both goods and services. Under the provisions of
the Trade Marks Act, a n application for trade mark registration may be made with the Trade Marks Registry by
any person or persons claiming to be the proprietor of a trade mark, whether individually or as joint applicants,
and can be made on the basis of either actual use or intention to use a trade mark in the future. Once granted, a
trade mark registration is valid for 10 years unless cancelled, subsequent to which, it can be renewed. If not
renewed, the mark lapses and the registration is required to be restored to ga in protection under the provisions of
the Trade Marks Act. The Trade Marks Act prohibits registration of deceptively similar trade marks and provides
for penalties for infringement, falsifying and falsely applying trade marks among others. Further, pursuant to the
notification of the Trade Marks (Amendment) Act, 2010, simultaneous protection of trade mark in India and other
countries has been made available to owners of Indian and foreign trade marks. It also seeks to simplify the law
relating to the transfer of ownership of trade marks by assignment or transmission and to bring the law in line with
international practices.
Copyright Act, 1957 and the rules thereunder
The Copyright Act, 1957, along with the Copyright Rules, 2013, (collectively, “ Copyright Laws”) serve to create
property rights for certain kinds of intellectual property, generally called works of authorship. The Copyright Laws
protect the legal rights of the creator of an ‘original work’ by preventing others from reproducing the work in any
other way. The intellectual property protected under the Copyright Laws includes literary works, dramatic works,
musical works, artistic works, cinematography, and sound recordings. The Copyright Laws prescribe fine,
imprisonment or both for violations, with enhanced penalty on second or subsequent convictions. While copyright
registration is not a prerequisite for acquiring or enforcing a copyright in an otherwise copyrightable work,
registration constitutes prima facie evidence of the particulars entered therein and may expedite infringement
proceedings and reduce delay caused due to evidentiary considerations. Upon registration, the copyright
protection for a work exists for a period of 60 years following the demise of the author. Reproduction of a
copyrighted work for sale or hire, issuing of copies to the public, performance or exhibition in public, making a
translation of the work, making an adaptation of the work and making a cinematograph film of the work without
consent of the owner of the copyright are all acts which expressly amount to an infringement of copyright.
Foreign Exchange Laws
The primary exchange control legislation in India is the Foreign Exchange Management Act, 1999 (the “FEMA”).
Pursuant to FEMA, the GoI and the RBI have promulgated various regulations, rules, circulars and press notes in
connection with various aspects of foreign exchange control.
228Foreign Investment in India
The FEMA, the Foreign Exchange Management (Non-Debt Instruments) Rules, 2019 (the “NDI Rules”) and the
Consolidated FDI Policy (effective from October 15, 2020) (the “FDI Policy”) issued by the Department for
Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade, Ministry of Commerce and Industry, GoI (the “DPIIT”), together
govern foreign investment in India. The FDI Policy subsumes and supersedes all press notes/ press releases/
clarifications/ circulars issued by the DPIIT which were in force as of October 15, 2020. In addition, the Foreign
Exchange Management (Mode of Payment and Reporting of Non-Debt Instruments) Regulations, 2019 regulate
the mode of payment and reporting requirements for investment in India by a person resident outside India.
Subject to the FDI Policy, non-resident entities can invest in India, except in prohibited sectors/ activities.
However, in furtherance of Press Note 3 of 2020, dated April 17, 2020 and issued by the DPIIT, as consolidated
in the FDI Policy, an entity of a country which shares land border with India or where the beneficial owner of an
investment into India is situated in or is a citizen of any such country, can only invest with prior approval of the
GoI. Moreover, an approval of the GoI will also be required in case of transfer of ownership of any existing or
future foreign direct investment in an entity in India, directly or indirectly resulting in the beneficial ownership
falling within the above restriction/ purview.
In accordance with the NDI Rules, the total holding by any individual NRI, on a repatriation basis, shall not exceed
5% of the total paid-up equity capital on a fully diluted basis or shall not exceed 5% of the paid-up value of each
series of debentures or preference shares or share warrants issued by an Indian company and the total holdings of
all NRIs and OCIs put together, on a repatriation or non-repatriation basis, shall not exceed 10% of the total paid-
up equity capital on a fully diluted basis or shall not exceed 10% of the paid-up value of each series of debentures
or preference shares or share warrant. However, the aggregate ceiling of 10% may be raised to 24% if a special
resolution to that effect is passed by the general body of the Indian company.
Further, in terms of the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Foreign Portfolio Investors) Regulations, 2019,
the investment in Equity Shares by a single FPI or an investor group (which means multiple entities registered as
FPIs and directly or indirectly having common ownership of more than 50% or common control) must be below
10% of our post-Offer Equity Share capital. Further, in terms of the NDI Rules, the total holding by each FPI or
an investor group shall be below 10% of the total paid-up equity share capital of our Company and the total
holdings of all FPIs put together can be up to the sectoral cap applicable to the sector in which our Company
operates (i.e., up to 100%), as prescribed under the NDI Rules.
Labour related laws
Set forth below is an indicative list of applicable labour laws and regulations for our business and operations:
The Code on Wages, 2019
On November 21, 2025, the Government of India notified and officially brought into force the Code on Wages,
2019. It provides for a uniform definition of ‘wages’, mandates a national floor wage, and ensures timely payment
of wages to all employees across sectors. It also strengthens provisions on equal remuneration and simplifies
compliance by consolidating four major labour laws into a single framework.
The Code on Social Security, 2020
On November 21, 2025, the Government of India notified and officially brought into force the Code on Social
Security, 2020. It provides for a unified and streamlined social security framework, extends coverage to
unorganised workers, gig workers and platform workers, and modernises the employees’ provident fund,
employees’ state insurance, maternity benefits and gratuity mechanisms to ensure broader and more efficient
social protection for the workforce.
Law governing competition
Competition Act, 2002 (the “Competition Act”)
The Competition Act is an act to prevent practices having adverse effect on competition, to promote and sustain
competition in markets, to protect the interests of consumers and to ensure freedom of trade in India. The act deals
with prohibition of (i) certain agreements such as anti-competitive agreements and (ii) abuse of dominant position
229and regulation of combinations. No enterprise or group shall abuse its dominant position in various circumstances
as mentioned under the Competition Act.
The prima facie duty of the Competition Commission of India (“Commission”) is to eliminate practices having
adverse effect on competition, promote and sustain competition, protect interests of consumers and ensure
freedom of trade. The Commission shall issue notice to show cause to the parties to combination calling upon
them to respond within 30 days in case it is of the opinion that there has been an appreciable adverse effect on
competition in India. In case a person fails to comply with the directions of the Commission and Director General
(as appointed under Section 16(1) of the Competition Act), he shall be punishable with a fine which may exceed
to ₹100,000 for each day during such failure subject to maximum of ₹10,000,000, as the Commission may
determine.
The Ministry of Corporate Affairs has released Draft Digital Competition Bill, 2024 in March, 2024 for public
consultation. It introduces an ex-ante framework to regulate competition in the digital economy.
The Bill regulates practices like self-preferencing, anti-steering, restricting third-party apps, and misuse of
business-user data, with strict penalties for violations.

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the
measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either:
a) In the principal market for the asset or liability, or
b) In the absence of a principal market, in most advantageous market for the asset of liability
All assets are liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the Restated financial information are categorised into different levels in a fair value
hierarchy based on the inputs used in the valuation techniques as follows.
Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level2:inputsotherthanquotedpricesincludedinLevel1thatareobservablefortheassetorliability,eitherdirectly(i.e.,asprices)orindirectly(i.e.,derived
from prices).
Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

The Company recognises transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period during which the change has occurred.
Further information about the assumptions made in measuring fair values is included in the respective notes (Refer note 34).

2.1 Summary of material accounting policies
a) Current/ Non- current classification
TheCompanypresentsassetsandliabilitiesintherestatedfinancialinformationbasedoncurrent/non-currentclassification.Anassetistreatedascurrentwhenit
is:
Assets
An asset is classified as current when:
i. it is expected to be realised in, or is intended for sale or consumption in, the Company's normal operating cycle;
ii. it is expected to be realised within twelve months from the reporting date;
iii. it is held primarily for the purposes of being traded; or
iv. it is cash or cash equivalent unless it is restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting date.
All other assets are classified as non-current
Liabilities
A liability is classified as current when:
i. it is expected to be settled in the Company's normal operating cycle;
ii. it is due to be settled within twelve months from the reporting date;
iii. it is held primarily for the purposes of being traded; or
iv. the Company does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months from the reporting date
All other liabilities are classified as non-current.

b) Foreign currency transactions
In preparing the Restated financial information of Company, transactions in currencies other than the Company’s functional currency (foreign currencies) are
recognized in functional currencies at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions. At the end of each reporting period, monetary items
denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at that date.
Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the dates of the initial
transactions. Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value is
determined.Thegainorlossarisingontranslationofnon-monetaryitemsmeasuredatfairvalueistreatedinlinewiththerecognitionofthegainorlossonthe
changeinfairvalueoftheitem(i.e.,translationdifferencesonitemswhosefairvaluegainorlossisrecognizedinothercomprehensiveincome(OCI)orprofitor

Exchange differences on monetary items are recognized in statement of profit and loss in the period in which they arise.
c) Financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments.
Financialassetsandfinancialliabilitiesareinitiallymeasuredatfairvalueexcepttradereceivableswhichdonotcontainasignificantfinancingcomponentandare
measured at transaction price. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than

i) Financial assets
The Company classifies its financial assets in the following measurement categories:
· Those to be measured subsequently at fair value (either through other comprehensive income, or through profit or loss)
· Those measured at amortized cost
Initial recognition and measurement
All financial assets are recognised initially at fair value except trade receivables which do not contain a significant financing component and are measured at
transactionprice,inthecaseoffinancialassetsnotrecordedatfairvaluethroughprofitorloss,transactioncoststhatareattributabletotheacquisitionofthe
financial asset.
Subsequent measurement
For purposes of subsequent measurement, financial assets are classified in four categories:
· Debt instruments at amortized cost
· Debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI)
· Debt instruments at fair value through profit and loss (FVTPL)
· Equity instruments

Debt instruments at amortized cost
A debt instrument is measured at amortized cost if both the following conditions are met:
· Businessmodeltest: Theobjective is to hold thedebtinstrumentto collectthecontractual cashflows(ratherthanto selltheinstrumentprior toits
contractual maturity to realise its fair value changes).
· Cashflowcharacteristicstest:ThecontractualtermsoftheDebtinstrumentgiveriseonspecificdatestocashflowsthataresolelypaymentsofprincipal

considering all the contractual terms of the financial instrument but does not consider the expected credit losses. The EIR amortisation is included in finance
income in profit or loss. The losses arising from impairment are recognised in the profit or loss. This category generally applies to trade and other receivables.
Debt instruments at fair value through OCI
A Debt instrument is measured at fair value through other comprehensive income if following criteria are met:
· Business model test: The objective of financial instrument is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and for selling financial assets.
· Cash flow characteristics test: The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specific dates to cash flows that are solely payments of
principal and interest on principal amount outstanding.

ii) Financial liabilities
Initial recognition and measurement
Financialliabilitiesareclassifiedatinitialrecognitionasfinancialliabilitiesatfairvaluethroughprofitorloss,loansandborrowings,andpayables,netofdirectly
attributable transaction costs. The Company financial liabilities include loans and borrowings including trade payables, trade deposits, retention money and
liability towards services, sales incentive, other payables and derivative financial instruments.
The measurement of financial liabilities depends on their classification, as described below:
Trade Payables
These amounts represents liabilities for goods and services provided to the Company prior to the end of financial year which are unpaid. The amounts are
unsecuredandareusuallypaidwithin30to60daysofrecognition.Tradeandotherpayablesarepresentedascurrentliabilitiesunlesspaymentisnotduewithin
12 months after the reporting period. They are recognized initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using EIR method.
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss
Financialliabilitiesatfairvaluethroughprofitorlossincludefinancialliabilitiesheldfortradingandfinancialliabilitiesdesignateduponinitialrecognitionasatfair
value through profit or loss. Financial liabilities are classified as held for trading if they are incurred for the purpose of repurchasing in the near term. This
category also includes derivative financial instruments entered into by the Company that arenot designated as hedging instruments inhedge relationships as
defined by Ind AS 109. Separated embedded derivatives are also classified as held for trading unless they are designated as effective hedging instruments.
The Company has not designated any financial liability at fair value through profit and loss other than compulsorily convertible preference shares (Refer Note 16).
Financial liabilities measured subsequently at amortised cost
Financial liabilities that are not (i) contingent consideration of an acquirer in abusiness combination, (ii) held-for-trading, or (iii) designated asat FVTPL, are
measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

f) Impairment
i) Impairment of financial instruments
The Company recognises loss allowances for expected credit losses on:
· financial assets measured at amortised cost; and
· financial assets measured at FVOCI- debt investments.
Ateachreporting date. theCompany assesses whether financial assets carried at amortised cost and debt securities at FVOCI are creditimpaired. A financial
asset is credit impaired when one or more events that have a detrimental Impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset have occurred.

Loss allowances for financial assets measured at amortised cost are deducted from the gross carrying amount of the assets,
ECL impairment loss allowance (or reversal) recognized during the period is recognized as income/ expense in the statement Of profit and loss.

Past service costs are recognised in profit or loss on the earlier of:
· the date of the plan amendment or curtailment, and
· the date that the Company recognises related restructuring costs
Net interest is calculated by applying the discount rate to the net defined benefit liability or asset. The Company recognises the following changes in the net
defined benefit obligation as an expense in the consolidated statement of profit and loss:
· service costs comprising current service costs, past-service costs, gains and losses on curtailments and non-routine settlements, and
· net interest expense or income.

h) Share-based payments
Employees (including senior executives) of the Company receive remuneration in the form of share-based payments, whereby employees render services as
consideration for equity instruments (equity-settled transactions).
Equity-settled transactions
The cost of equity-settled transactions is determined by the fair value at the date when the grant is made using an appropriate valuation model.
That cost is recognised, together with a corresponding increase in share-based payment (SBP) reserves in equity, over the period in which the performance
and/or service conditions are fulfilled in employee benefits expense. The cumulative expense recognised for equity-settled transactions ateach reporting date

Service and non-market performance conditions are not taken into account when determining the grant date fair value of awards, but the likelihood of the
conditions being met is assessed as part of the Company best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest. Market performance

or is otherwise beneficial to the employee as measured at the date of modification. Where an award is cancelled by the entity or by the counterparty, any
remaining element of the fair value of the award is expensed immediately through profit or loss.
The dilutive effect of outstanding options is reflected as additional share dilution in the computation of diluted earnings per share.
i) Provisions (other than for employee benefits)
A provision is recognised if, as a result of a past event, the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation that can be estimated reliably, and it is
probablethatanoutflowofeconomicbenefitswillberequiredtosettletheobligation.Provisionsaredeterminedbydiscountingtheexpectedfuturecashflows
(representing the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the balance sheet date) at a pre-tax rate that reflects current
marketassessmentsofthetimevalueofmoneyandtherisksspecifictotheliability.Theunwindingofthediscountisrecognisedasfinancecost.Expectedfuture
operating losses are not provided for.
j) Revenue recognition
Revenueisrecognized upontransferofcontrol ofpromised productsor services to customersfor anamount thatreflects theconsideration thatwe expectto
receive in exchange for those products or services.
The variable consideration is estimated at contract inception and constrained until it is highly probable that a significant revenue reversal in the amount of
cumulative revenue recognized will not occur.

- is primary obligor towards performance of stay services to end customers;
- controls right to sell the room inventory under the brand name of “FabHotels” by obtaining sole exclusive right from the hotel owners;
- has real time access through online portal over the room inventories;

Contract liabilities
A contract liability is the obligation to transfer services to a customer for which the Company has received consideration (or an amount of consideration is due)
from the customer. If a customer pays consideration before the Company transfers services to the customer, a contract liability is recognised when the payment
is made or the payment is due (whichever is earlier). Contract liabilities are recognised as revenue when the Company performs under the contract.

32 Employee benefit plans
(I) Defined Contribution Plans
The Company makes contribution towards employees’ provident fund and labour welfare fund notified by Government of India. Under these schemes, the Company
is required to contribute a specified percentage of the salary payable to employees, as specified in the rules of the schemes to these defined contribution schemes.
The Company has recognised INR 7.00 millions (March 31, 2025: INR 15.08 millions, March 31, 2024: INR 12.45 millions, March 31, 2023: INR 6.15 millions) in

Total 7.00 15.08 12.45 6.15
(II) Defined Benefit Plans
The Company has an unfunded defined benefit gratuity plan. The gratuity plan is governed by the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972. Under the Act, employees who
have completed five years of service are entitled to specific benefit. The level of benefit provided depends on the member's length of service, salary and retirement
age. The employee is entitled to a benefit equivalent to 15 days salary last drawn for each completed year of service with part thereof in excess of six months. The
same is payable on termination of service or retirement or death whichever is earlier.
Risks associated with the plan provisions are actuarial risk. These risks are:- (i) investment risk, (ii) mortality risk and (iii) salary growth risk
Interest risk A decrease in the bond interest rate will increase the plan liability; however, this will be partially offset by an
increase in the return on the plan’s debt investments.
Mortality risk The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated by reference to the best estimate of the
mortality of plan participants both during and after their employment. An increase in the life expectancy of the
plan participants will increase the plan’s liability.
Salary risk The present value of the defined benefit liability is calculated by reference to the future salaries of plan
participants. As such, an increase in the salary of the plan participants will increase the plan’s liability.
The most recent actuarial valuation of the plan assets and the present value of the defined benefit obligation were carried out as at September 30, 2025, March 31,
2025, March 31, 2024, March 31, 2023 by Jenil Shah (Membership no IAI- 5568), Fellow of the Institute of Actuaries of India on behalf of Kapadia Global Actuaries.
The present value of the defined benefit obligation, and the related current service cost, were measured using the projected unit credit method.

The discount rate is based on prevailing market yields of Government of India bonds as at the reporting date for the expected term of obligations.
The estimates of future salary increases, considered in actuarial valuation, take account of inflation, seniority, promotion and other relevant factors, such as supply and demand
in the employment market.
(V) Sensitivity Analysis
Significant actuarial assumptions for determination of the defined obligation are discount rate, expected salary increase and withdrawal rate. The sensitivity analysis below has
been determined based on reasonable possible changes of the respective assumptions occurring at the end of the year / period, while holding all other assumptions constant.

34.2 Fair value hierarchy
Financial assets and financial liabilities are measured at fair value in the restated financial statement and are grouped into three Levels of a fair value hierarchy. The three
Levels are defined based on the observability of significant inputs to the measurement, as follows:
• Level I inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date. This includes quoted
equity instruments, government securities, traded debentures (borrowings) and mutual funds that have quoted price;
• Level II inputs are inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived
from prices). This includes derivative financial instruments and investment in redeemable non-cumulative preference shares;
• Level III inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. Fair values are determined in whole or in part using a valuation model based on assumptions that are neither
supported by prices from observable current market transactions in the same instrument nor are they based on available market data. This includes unquoted equity shares.
The following table provides an analysis of financial instruments that are measured at fair value and have been grouped into Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 below:

There has been no transfer between level I, level II and level III for the year ended September 30, 2025, March 31, 2025 , March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023
Valuation technique(s) and key input(s):

Backsolve method using actual transaction value of latest fund raise for respective years.

at April 01 2022, at the date of transition to Ind AS. This note explains the principal adjustments made by the Company in restating its Indian GAAP Financial
Statements, including the balance sheet as at April 01, 2022 and the Comparative Financial statements as at and for the year ended March 31, 2023.
A. Exceptions:
The following mandatory exceptions have been applied in accordance with Ind AS 101 in preparing the Financial Statements.
i) Estimates
TheestimatesatApril01,2022andatMarch31,2023areconsistentwiththosemadeforthesamedatesinaccordancewithIndianGAAP(afteradjustmentsto
reflect any differences in accounting policies) and therefore no such adjustment made retrospectively.
TheestimatesusedbytheCompanytopresenttheseamountsinaccordancewithIndASreflectconditionsatApril01,2022,thedateoftransitiontoIndASandas
of March 31, 2023.
ii) Impairment of financial assets: (Trade receivables and other financial assets)
At the date of transition to Ind AS, the Company has determined that assessing whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk since the initial
recognition of a financial instrument would require undue cost or effort, hence the Company has recognised a loss allowance at an amount equal to lifetime
expected credit losses at each reporting date until that financial instrument is derecognised (unless that financial instrument is low credit risk at a reporting date).
iii) De-recognition of financial assets and liabilities
Ind AS 101 requires a first-time adopter to apply the de-recognition provisions of Ind AS 109 prospectively for transactions occurring on or after the date of
transition to Ind AS. However, Ind AS 101 allows a first-time adopter to apply the de-recognition requirement in Ind AS 109 retrospectively from a date of the
entity's choosing, provided that the information needed to apply Ind AS 109 to financial assets and financial liabilities derecognized as a result of past transactions
was obtained at the time of initially accounting for those transactions.
The Company has elected to apply the de-recognition provisions of Ind AS 109 prospectively from the date of transition to Ind AS.
iv) Impairment of financial assets
The Company has applied the impairment requirements of Ind AS 109 retrospectively; however, as permitted by Ind AS 101, it has used reasonable and
supportableinformationthatisavailablewithoutunduecostorefforttodeterminethecreditriskatthedatethatfinancialinstrumentswereinitiallyrecognizedin
ordertocompareitwiththecreditriskatthetransitiondate.Further,theCompanyhasnotundertakenanexhaustivesearchforinformationwhendetermining,at
the date of transition to Ind AS, whether there have been significant increases in credit risk since initial recognition, as permitted by Ind AS 101.
B. Exemptions applied:
IndAS 101 allows first time adopters certain exemptions from theretrospective applicationofcertainrequirements underIndAS.The Companyhas appliedthe

(not annualized)
Earnings per equity share (Basic) (in ₹) 2.27 (1.02) (28.18) (22.91)
Earnings per equity share (Diluted) (in ₹) 2.13 (1.02) (28.18) (22.91)
Return on Net Worth (in %) 21.19 NA* NA* NA*
Net Asset Value per share (in ₹) 14.99 11.43 (51.11) (50.90)
EBITDA (in ₹ million) 4.89 33.49 (1,098.72) (912.50)
Adjusted EBITDA (in ₹ million) 80.94 169.67 (50.61) (30.40)
* Since average net worth is negative for fiscal 2025, 2024, and 2023 and there is restated loss for the year attributable to equity holders
of the company for the financial year ended March 31, 2025, March 31, 2024, March 31, 2023. Hence, RoNW can’t be computed.
Notes:
(1) Return on Net Worth (%) is calculated as restated profit after tax for the year/period as a percentage of average of closing net worth
during that year and the previous year.
(2) Net-worth means the aggregate value of the paid-up equity share capital and all reserves created out of the profits and securities premium
account and debit or credit balance of profit and loss account, after deducting the aggregate value of the accumulated losses, deferred
expenditure and miscellaneous expenditure not written off, as per the audited balance sheet, but does not include reserves created out of
revaluation of assets, capital reserve, write-back of depreciation and amalgamation as on six months period ended September 30, 2025
and year ended 31 March, 2025, 2024 and 2023. Therefore, net worth means the aggregate value of the equity share capital, instruments
entirely equity in nature and other equity (which comprises of retained earnings, securities premium, share based payment reserves and
remeasurement of the defined benefit plans).
(3) Weighted average is Aggregate of year-wise weighted RoNW divided by the aggregate of weights i.e. (RoNW x Weight) for each year /
Total of weights. Weights have been determined by the Company.
(4) Basic and diluted earnings/ (loss) per Equity Share: Basic and diluted earnings/ (loss) per Equity Share are computed in accordance with
Indian Accounting Standard 33 notified under the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules of 2015 (as amended), derived from
the Restated Financial Information.
(5) Basic earnings per Equity Share (₹) = Restated profit attributable to Shareholders of our Company for the year divided by weighted
average number of Equity Shares outstanding during the year computed in accordance with Ind AS 33. Includes Preference Shares which
are compulsorily convertible into Equity Shares. Further the weighted average number of shares takes into account the weighted average
effect of changes on account of bonus shares issued and change in conversion ratio of cumulative compulsorily convertible preference
shares subsequent to the period ended September 30, 2025.
(6) Diluted earnings per Equity Share (₹) = Restated profit attributed to Shareholders of our Company divided by weighted average number
of shares outstanding during the year are adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential Equity Shares computed in accordance with Ind
AS 33. Includes Preference Shares which are compulsorily convertible into Equity Shares and exercisable employee stock options. Further
the weighted average number of shares takes into account the weighted average effect of changes on account of bonus shares issued and
change in conversion ratio of cumulative compulsorily convertible preference shares subsequent to the period ended September 30, 2025.
(7) The above statement should be read with Significant Accounting Policies and the Notes to the Restated Financial Information as appearing
in Restated Financial Information.
(8) Net asset value per equity share is calculated as net worth as of the end of relevant period/fiscal divided by the number of equity shares
outstanding at the end of that period/fiscal. Number of equity shares outstanding at the end of the year/period is the aggregate of the
number of equity shares, compulsory convertible preference shares and vested employee stock options outstanding at the end of the
period/fiscal after taking impact of bonus shares issued and change in conversion ratio of cumulative compulsorily convertible preference
shares.

(defined as clients who crossed ₹ 0.5 million GTV in trailing 12 months from the end of the year/ period), as well
as the increase in our GTV per client. We actively focus on attracting and retaining clients by delivering a
compelling value proposition, expanding our portfolio, and driving client satisfaction. Our approach anticipates
evolving dynamics such as macroeconomic shifts, changing travel budgets, and the rise of remote and hybrid work
models, positioning us to capture demand.
Over recent periods, we have demonstrated consistent growth in active enterprise clients, rising from 314 as of
March 31, 2023, to 418 as of March 31, 2025, growing at a CAGR of 15.38% and counted 474 active enterprise
clients, as of September 30, 2025. Our top 50 active enterprise clients accounted for 33.36%, 32.10%, 26.61%,
and 21.76% of our GTV for the six months ended 30 September 2025 and for Fiscals 2025, 2024, and 2023,
respectively, reflecting a well-diversified client base mitigating reliance on any single client relationship. GTV
328per active enterprise client has also increased from ₹ 4.73 million in Fiscal 2023 to ₹ 7.10 million in Fiscal 2024,
reaching ₹ 10.28 million in Fiscal 2025 and was ₹ 10.81 million in the six months ended September 30, 2025.
Client cohorts show strong revenue growth, with net revenue retention of 158.51% – 201.35% and indexed
revenue rising up to 2.01x in the last three Fiscals. This expansion is driven by increased booking volumes through
TravelPlus, broader platform adoption, and migration of bookings from alternative channels. This is led by rapidly
expanding corporate travel management sector, with the Indian corporate travel market management platform
projected to grow at a CAGR of 13.7% from ₹ 3.6 trillion in Fiscal 2025 to ₹ 6.9 trillion by Fiscal 2030. (Source:

Expansion and diversification of hotel supply
The breadth, quality, and reliability of our hotel supply are critical to our value proposition and client satisfaction.
The number of active hotels on our platform increased from 14,795, as of March 31, 2023 to 18,198, as of March
31, 2024, and to 23,691, as of March 31, 2025, and were 27,247, as of September 30, 2025. The expansion of our
active hotels has enabled us to serve a wider range of client needs and geographies, supporting both acquisition
and retention. Our efforts to expand and diversify our hotel network are particularly important in the context of
the Indian corporate travel market, where the economy hotel segment represents 69% of corporate hotel demand
but 95% of the economy hotel supply remains unbranded. (Source: 1Lattice Report)
Our ability to maintain and grow our hotel supply is subject to the potential loss of key hotel partners, high attrition
rates among suppliers, or inability to onboard new hotels at the required pace or quality. Our arrangements with
hotel suppliers are typically not long-term, and any deterioration in relationships or supplier performance could
reduce inventory and impact client experience. Inconsistent enforcement of quality standards or lapses in supplier
vetting may result in client dissatisfaction, increased check-in denials, or reputational harm. We continue to invest
in supplier onboarding, quality assurance, and direct relationships to ensure consistent service standards and
mitigate these risks.
Brand strength and product innovation
Our TravelPlus brand is central to our market positioning, client trust, and supplier engagement. We also maintain
a strategic asset light private-label portfolio comprising FabHotels and Via brands which had 1,379 properties as
of September 30, 2025. Nearly all our GTV continues to be generated from hotel bookings, underscoring our
focus and expertise in this segment. The table below sets forth certain details of our GTV including from our hotel
bookings for the periods indicated:

(3) Hotels share in Total GTV (%) is defined as the share of Hotels GTV in Total GTV.
Our brand and reputation may be subject to negative publicity, client complaints, or incidents involving hotel
partners that may be beyond our control. The rapid spread of information via social media can amplify reputational
damage. Failure to maintain high service standards, respond effectively to client feedback, or innovate in line with
evolving client expectations could erode brand equity and impact our ability to attract and retain clients and
suppliers. Substantial advertising and marketing investments may be required to maintain brand visibility, and
there is no assurance that such investments will yield the desired results. Our business, results of operation,
financial condition may be adversely impacted in in the event we are unable to prioritise service quality,
innovation, and proactive brand management.
Product innovation is a significant determinant of our operational performance. Our innovations including
automated GST-compliant invoicing, AI-enabled service monitoring, and workflow automation, have materially
enhanced efficiency and compliance. We intend to continue investing in developing more offerings, features and
functionality, which we believe are important factors to achieve widespread adoption of our offerings. Our ability
329to increase sales to existing customers will depend on a number of factors, including our customers’ satisfaction
with the TravelPlus platform and technologies, competition and pricing.
Investment in technology and platform capabilities
As part of our operational excellence, we focus on investment in technology to enhance our platform’s scalability,
automation, and analytics capabilities. In the six months ended September 30, 2025, and Fiscals 2025, 2024 and
2023, our technology expenses (comprising of website development and related maintenance, communication
cost and payment processing charges) were ₹38.34 million, ₹74.89 million, ₹69.02 million and ₹53.14 million,
respectively, which amounted to 0.94%, 1.03%, 1.18% and 1.26% of our total expense in such periods. Our
investments in our technology capabilities support operational efficiency, compliance, and user experience. These
investments have resulted in higher technology expenses in the short term. We view these investments as
important tools to improve the efficiency of the booking process, how we operate our business, and how we serve
our clients.
Our focus will be towards both customer-facing and backend improvements. On the front end, we are optimising
booking flows to reduce time-to-completion and improve conversion rates, enhancing analytics dashboards for
deeper spend visibility, upgrading mobile apps for on-the-go convenience, and improving platform performance
for faster load times and responsive search. On the backend, we are aiming to strengthen infrastructure through
expanded enterprise integrations, security and compliance upgrades, and scalability enhancements to support
growing transaction volumes without proportional cost increases. We will continue investing in AI and
infrastructure to deliver more personalised and scalable solutions, enabling faster client onboarding and
positioning us to serve regulated industries effectively. These initiatives underpin sustainable growth and
operational excellence.
However, technology investments carry inherent risks. Failure to innovate or adapt could erode competitiveness,
while technical failures, cyberattacks, or integration complexities may disrupt operations or increase costs.
Evolving regulatory requirements around AI and data privacy also demand ongoing compliance investment. We
mitigate these risks through robust security, platform resilience, and continuous compliance measures.
Cost structure and operating leverage
We have achieved an operating leverage of 74.75% in Fiscal 2025. This reflects revenue expansion outpacing
operating cost growth, supported by workflow automation, supplier integration, and GenAI deployment. This
creates a virtuous cycle where revenue expansion directly contributes to margin improvement, positioning us to
sustain profitability as we scale. Our take rate increased by 83.42% from ₹ 801.65 million in Fiscal 2023 to ₹
1,470.40 million in Fiscal 2025, while employee benefits expense (excluding share based payment expenses) and
other expenses increased at a lower rate of 53.88% from ₹ 916.79 million in Fiscal 2023 to ₹ 1,410.75 million in
Fiscal 2025. Our hotels-focused positioning in the enterprise segment has enabled superior unit economics
evidenced by Take Rate (%) of 18.64%, 18.72% and 18.23% in the Fiscals 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively,
which are significantly higher than industry averages of around 8%-10% for the same periods. (Source: 1Lattice
Report) The decrease in Take Rate (%) from 18.72% in Fiscal 2024 to 18.64% in Fiscal 2025 reflects increasing
share of third-party hotel bookings on the TravelPlus platform relative to private-label properties.
Our profitability is closely linked to disciplined cost management, particularly in employee benefits (excluding
share based payment expenses) and business promotion and advertisement expenses. Employee benefits
(excluding ESOPs) have remained within 10–14% of revenue from operations over recent periods, while business
promotion and advertisement expenses have been stable at around 0.7–0.8% of revenue from operations. This
focus on cost discipline is increasingly important in the travel management industry, where technology adoption
and automation are driving efficiency gains.
Nonetheless, there are risks that rising wage costs, increased competition for talent, or inflationary pressures could
erode margins. Investments in technology, marketing, or expansion may not yield immediate returns, and negative
cash flows from operating activities have been experienced in the past. If we are unable to generate sufficient
revenue growth to offset these costs, or if cost-saving initiatives are not effectively implemented, our profitability
and financial condition could be adversely affected. We continue to monitor costs closely and seek operational
efficiencies to manage these risks.
330SUMMARY OF MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Summary of material accounting policies
Current/ Non- current classification
The Company presents assets and liabilities in the restated financial information based on current/non-current
classification. An asset is treated as current when it is:
Assets
An asset is classified as current when:
i. it is expected to be realised in, or is intended for sale or consumption in, the Company's normal operating
cycle;
ii. it is expected to be realised within twelve months from the reporting date;
iii. it is held primarily for the purposes of being traded; o
iv. it is cash or cash equivalent unless it is restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at
least twelve months after the reporting date.
All other assets are classified as non-current
Liabilities
A liability is classified as current when:
i. it is expected to be settled in the Company's normal operating cycle;
ii. it is due to be settled within twelve months from the reporting date;
iii. it is held primarily for the purposes of being traded; or
iv. the Company does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve
months from the reporting date
All other liabilities are classified as non-current.
Operating cycle
Operating cycle is the time between the acquisition of assets for processing and their realisation in cash or cash
equivalents. Based on the nature of operations and the time between the acquisition of assets for processing and
their realization in cash and cash equivalents, the Company has ascertained its operating cycle as twelve months
for the purpose of current vs non-current classification of assets and liabilities.
Foreign currency transactions
In preparing the Restated financial information of Company, transactions in currencies other than the Company’s
functional currency (foreign currencies) are recognized in functional currencies at the rates of exchange prevailing
at the dates of the transactions. At the end of each reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign
currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at that date.
Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the
exchange rates at the dates of the initial transactions. Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign
currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value is determined. The gain or loss
arising on translation of non-monetary items measured at fair value is treated in line with the recognition of the
gain or loss on the change in fair value of the item (i.e., translation differences on items whose fair value gain or
loss is recognized in other comprehensive income (OCI) or profit or loss are also recognized in OCI or profit or
loss, respectively).
331Exchange differences on monetary items are recognized in statement of profit and loss in the period in which they
arise.
Financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the Company becomes a party to the contractual
provisions of the instruments.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value except trade receivables which do not
contain a significant financing component and are measured at transaction price. Transaction costs that are directly
attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and
financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial
assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the
acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognised immediately
in Statement of Profit and Loss.
Financial assets
The Company classifies its financial assets in the following measurement categories:
• Those to be measured subsequently at fair value (either through other comprehensive income, or through
profit or loss)
• Those measured at amortized cost
Initial recognition and measurement
All financial assets are recognised initially at fair value except trade receivables which do not contain a significant
financing component and are measured at transaction price, in the case of financial assets not recorded at fair
value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset.
Subsequent measurement
For purposes of subsequent measurement, financial assets are classified in four categories:
• Debt instruments at amortized cost
• Debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI)
• Debt instruments at fair value through profit and loss (FVTPL)
• Equity instruments
Debt instruments at amortized cost
A debt instrument is measured at amortized cost if both the following conditions are met:
• Business model test: The objective is to hold the debt instrument to collect the contractual cash flows (rather
than to sell the instrument prior to its contractual maturity to realise its fair value changes).
• Cash flow characteristics test: The contractual terms of the Debt instrument give rise on specific dates to
cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on principal amount outstanding.
This category is most relevant to the Company. After initial measurement, such financial assets are subsequently
measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate (EIR) method. Amortised cost is calculated by taking
into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of EIR. EIR is the
rate that exactly discounts the estimated future cash receipts over the expected life of the financial instrument or
a shorter period, where appropriate, to the gross carrying amount of the financial asset. When calculating the
effective interest rate, the Company estimates the expected cash flows by considering all the contractual terms of
the financial instrument but does not consider the expected credit losses. The EIR amortisation is included in
finance income in profit or loss. The losses arising from impairment are recognised in the profit or loss. This
category generally applies to trade and other receivables.
332Debt instruments at fair value through OCI
A Debt instrument is measured at fair value through other comprehensive income if following criteria are met:
• Business model test: The objective of financial instrument is achieved by both collecting contractual cash
flows and for selling financial assets.
• Cash flow characteristics test: The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specific dates to cash
flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on principal amount outstanding.
Financial Asset included within the FVTOCI category are measured initially as well as at each reporting date at
fair value. Fair value movements are recognized in the other comprehensive income (OCI). However, the
Company recognized the interest income, impairment losses and reversals and foreign exchange gain or loss in
the Profit or Loss. On derecognition of asset, cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in OCI is reclassified
from the equity to Profit or Loss. Interest earned whilst holding FVTOCI debt instrument is reported as interest
income using the EIR method.
Debt instruments at FVTPL
FVTPL is a residual category for financial instruments. Any financial instrument, which does not meet the criteria
for amortized cost or FVTOCI, is classified as at FVTPL. A gain or loss on a debt instrument that is subsequently
measured at FVTPL and is not a part of a hedging relationship is recognized in profit or loss and presented net in
the statement of profit and loss within other gains or losses in the period in which it arises. Interest income from
these Debt instruments is included in other income.
Equity investments of other entities
All equity investments in scope of Ind AS 109 are measured at fair value. Equity instruments which are held for
trading and contingent consideration recognized by an acquirer in a business combination to which Ind AS 103
applies are classified as at FVTPL. For all other equity instruments, the Company may make an irrevocable
election to present in other comprehensive income all subsequent changes in the fair value. The Company makes
such election on an instrument-by-instrument basis. The classification is made on initial recognition and is
irrevocable.
If the Company decides to classify an equity instrument as at FVTOCI, then all fair value changes on the
instrument, excluding dividends, are recognized in the OCI. There is no recycling of the amounts from OCI to
profit and loss, even on sale of investment. However, the Company may transfer the cumulative gain or loss within
equity. Equity instruments included within the FVTPL category are measured at fair value with all changes
recognized in the Profit and loss.
Derecognition
A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a Company of similar financial assets)
is primarily derecognised (i.e., removed from the Company statement of financial position) when:
• The rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired, or
• The Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has assumed an obligation to
pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a "pass through" arrangement
and either;
• The Company has transferred the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets or
• The Company has retained the contractual right to receive the cash flows of the financial asset, but assumes
a contractual obligation to pay the cash flows to one or more recipients.
Where the Company has transferred an asset, the Company evaluates whether it has transferred substantially all
the risks and rewards of the ownership of the financial assets. In such cases, the financial asset is derecognised.
Where the entity has not transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the ownership of the financial assets,
the financial asset is not derecognised.
333Where the Company has neither transferred a financial asset nor retains substantially all risks and rewards of
ownership of the financial asset, the financial asset is derecognised if the Company has not retained control of the
financial asset. Where the Company retains control of the financial asset, the asset is continued to be recognized
to the extent of continuing involvement in the financial asset.
Impairment of financial assets
In accordance with Ind AS 109, the Company applies expected credit losses (ECL) model for measurement and
recognition of impairment loss on the following financial asset and credit risk exposure
• Financial assets measured at amortised cost;
• Financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI);
The Company follows "simplified approach" for recognition of impairment loss allowance on:
• Trade receivables or contract revenue receivables;
• All lease receivables resulting from the transactions within the scope of Ind AS 116
Under the simplified approach, the Company does not track changes in credit risk. Rather, it recognises
impairment loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date, right from its initial recognition. The
Company uses a provision matrix to determine impairment loss allowance on the portfolio of trade receivables.
The provision matrix rate is based on its historically experience in delay or observed default payment over the
expected life of trade receivable and is adjusted for forward looking estimates. At every reporting date, the
historical observed default rates are updated and changes in the forward looking estimates are analysed.
Financial liabilities
Initial recognition and measurement
Financial liabilities are classified at initial recognition as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss,
loans and borrowings, and payables, net of directly attributable transaction costs. The Company financial
liabilities include loans and borrowings including trade payables, trade deposits, retention money and liability
towards services, sales incentive, other payables and derivative financial instruments.
The measurement of financial liabilities depends on their classification, as described below:
Trade Payables
These amounts represents liabilities for goods and services provided to the Company prior to the end of financial
year which are unpaid. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 to 60 days of recognition. Trade
and other payables are presented as current liabilities unless payment is not due within 12 months after the
reporting period. They are recognized initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using
EIR method.
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss include financial liabilities held for trading and financial
liabilities designated upon initial recognition as at fair value through profit or loss. Financial liabilities are
classified as held for trading if they are incurred for the purpose of repurchasing in the near term. This category
also includes derivative financial instruments entered into by the Company that are not designated as hedging
instruments in hedge relationships as defined by Ind AS 109. Separated embedded derivatives are also classified
as held for trading unless they are designated as effective hedging instruments.
The Company has not designated any financial liability as at fair value through profit and loss other than
compulsorily convertible preference shares.
334Financial liabilities measured subsequently at amortised cost
Financial liabilities that are not (i) contingent consideration of an acquirer in a business combination, (ii) held-
for-trading, or (iii) designated as at FVTPL, are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective
interest method.
The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial liability and of allocating
interest expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated
future cash payments (including all fees and points paid or received that form an integral part of the effective
interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life of the financial liability,
or (where appropriate) a shorter period, to the amortised cost of a financial liability.
De-recognition
The Company derecognizes a financial liability when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled
or expires.
Offsetting of financial instruments
The Company offsets a financial asset and a financial liability and reports the net amount in the balance sheet if
there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a
net basis, to realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.
Property, plant and equipment
Recognition and measurement
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment, if any. Costs
directly attributable to acquisition are capitalised until the property, plant and equipment are ready for use.
The cost comprises purchase price, freight, duties, taxes and any attributable cost of bringing the asset to its
working condition for its intended use. Any trade discounts and rebates are deducted in arriving at the purchase
price.
The company identifies and determines cost of each component/ part of the asset separately, if the component/
part has a cost which is significant to the total cost of the asset and has useful life that is materially different from
that of the remaining asset.
Gains or losses arising from derecognition of plant, property and equipment are measured as the difference
between the net cost disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognized in the statement
of profit and loss when the asset is derecognized.
Depreciation
Depreciation on plant, property and equipment is calculated on straight-line basis using the rates prescribed under
Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013 as it coincides with useful life of assets.
Assets Useful life
Computer 3-6 years
Electrical equipment 5-10 years
Furniture and fixtures 3-10 years
Office equipment 2-5 years
Vehicle 10 years
Depreciation method, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each financial year-end and adjusted if
appropriate.
Intangible Assets
Recognition and measurement
Intangible assets are initially measured at cost. Such intangible assets are subsequently measured at cost less
accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses, if any. Software development cost are
335capitalised, when technical and commercial feasibility of project is demonstrated, future economic benefits are
probable, the Company has an intention and ability to complete and use of software. The costs which can be
capitalised include costs of material, direct salary costs and overhead costs directly attributable to prepare the
assets for intended use.
Amortisation
Intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated economic useful life of 3 years. The
estimated useful life of an identifiable intangible assets is dependent on many factors such as effects of
obsolescence, demand, competition and other economic factors.
Amortisation method, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at the end of each financial year and adjusted
if appropriate.
Gains or losses arising from derecognition of an intangible asset are measured as the difference between the net
disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognised in the statement of profit and loss when
the asset is derecognised.
Subsequent expenditure is capitalised only if it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the
expenditure will flow to the Company.
Research and development costs
Research costs are expensed as incurred. Development expenditure incurred on an individual project is recognized
as an intangible asset when the company can demonstrate all the following:
• technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale
• its intention to complete the asset
• its ability to use or sell the asset
• how the asset will generate future economic benefits
• how the asset will generate future economic benefits
• the availability of adequate resources to complete the development and to use or sell the asset
• the ability to measure reliably the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during development
Following the initial recognition of the development expenditure as an asset, the cost model is applied requiring
the asset to be carried at cost less any accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses. The cost
comprises directly attributable cost to development which mainly includes salary cost of employees working on
the development of intangible assets.
Impairment
Impairment of financial instruments
The Company recognises loss allowances for expected credit losses on:
• financial assets measured at amortised cost; and
• financial assets measured at FVOCI- debt investments.
At each reporting date. the Company assesses whether financial assets carried at amortised cost and debt securities
at FVOCI are credit impaired. A financial asset is credit impaired when one or more events that have a detrimental
Impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset have occurred.
Loss allowance for trade receivable with no significant financing component is measured at an amount equal to
lifetime expected credit losses (ECL). For all other financial assets expected credit losses are measured at an
amount equal to the 12 month expected credit losses, unless there has been a significant increase in credit risk
from initial recognition in which case those are measured at lifetime ECL.
336Presentation of allowance for expected credit losses in the balance sheet
Loss allowances for financial assets measured at amortised cost are deducted from the gross carrying amount of
the assets,
ECL impairment loss allowance (or reversal) recognized during the period is recognized as income/ expense in
the statement Of profit and loss.
Impairment Of non-financial assets
The Company’s non-financial assets, other than inventories and deferred tax assets, are reviewed at each reporting
date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then the assets
recoverable amount is estimated. An asset's recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's or cash-generating unit's
(CGU) net selling price and its value in use. The recoverable amount is determined for an individual asset, unless
the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets.
Where the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired
and is written down to its recoverable amount. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are
discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time
value of money and the risks specific to the asset. In determining net selling price, recent market transactions are
taken into account, if available. If no such transactions can be identified, an appropriate valuation model is used.
After impairment, depreciation is provided on the revised carrying amount of the asset over its remaining useful
life.
Employee benefits
Short-term employee benefits
All employee benefits payable wholly within twelve months of rendering the service are classified as short-term
employee benefits and they are recognized in the period in which the employee renders the related service. The
Company recognizes the undiscounted amount of short-term employee benefits expected to be paid in exchange
for services rendered as a liability (accrued expense) after deducting any amount already paid.
Post-employment benefits and other long term employee benefits
Provident Fund: Retirement benefit in the form of provident fund is a defined contribution scheme. The
contributions to the provident fund administered by the Central Government under the Provident Fund Act, 1952,
are charged to the restated statement of profit and loss for the year in which the contributions are due. The company
has no obligation, other than the contribution payable to the provident fund. If the contribution payable to the
scheme for service received before the balance sheet date exceeds the contribution already paid, the deficit payable
to the scheme is recognized as a liability after deducting the contribution already paid. If the contribution already
paid exceeds the contribution due for services received before the balance sheet date, then excess is recognized as
an asset to the extent that the pre-payment will lead to a reduction in future payment.
Gratuity: The Company operates a defined benefit gratuity plan in India, which requires contributions to be made
to a separately administered fund. The cost of providing benefits under the defined benefit plan is determined
using the projected unit credit method.
Remeasurements, comprising of actuarial gains and losses, the effect of the asset ceiling, excluding amounts
included in net interest on the net defined benefit liability and the return on plan assets (excluding amounts
included in net interest on the net defined benefit liability), are recognised immediately in the balance sheet with
a corresponding debit or credit to retained earnings through OCI in the period in which they occur.
Remeasurements are not reclassified to profit or loss in subsequent periods.
Past service costs are recognised in profit or loss on the earlier of:
• the date of the plan amendment or curtailment, and
• the date that the Company recognises related restructuring costs
337• Net interest is calculated by applying the discount rate to the net defined benefit liability or asset. The
Company recognises the following changes in the net defined benefit obligation as an expense in the
consolidated statement of profit and loss:
• service costs comprising current service costs, past-service costs, gains and losses on curtailments and non-
routine settlements, and
• net interest expense or income.
Share-based payments
Employees (including senior executives) of the Company receive remuneration in the form of share-based
payments, whereby employees render services as consideration for equity instruments (equity-settled
transactions).
Equity-settled transactions
The cost of equity-settled transactions is determined by the fair value at the date when the grant is made using an
appropriate valuation model.
That cost is recognised, together with a corresponding increase in share-based payment (SBP) reserves in equity,
over the period in which the performance and/or service conditions are fulfilled in employee benefits expense.
The cumulative expense recognised for equity-settled transactions at each reporting date until the vesting date
reflects the extent to which the vesting period has expired and the Company best estimate of the number of equity
instruments that will ultimately vest. The restated statement of profit and loss expense or credit for a period
represents the movement in cumulative expense recognised as at the beginning and end of that period and is
recognised in employee benefits expense.
Service and non-market performance conditions are not taken into account when determining the grant date fair
value of awards, but the likelihood of the conditions being met is assessed as part of the Company best estimate
of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest. Market performance conditions are reflected within
the grant date fair value. Any other conditions attached to an award, but without an associated service requirement,
are considered to be non-vesting conditions. Non-vesting conditions are reflected in the fair value of an award and
lead to an immediate expensing of an award unless there are also service and/or performance conditions.
No expense is recognised for awards that do not ultimately vest because non-market performance and/or service
conditions have not been met. Where awards include a market or non-vesting condition, the transactions are
treated as vested irrespective of whether the market or non-vesting condition is satisfied, provided that all other
performance and/or service conditions are satisfied.
When the terms of an equity-settled award are modified, the minimum expense recognised is the expense had the
terms had not been modified, if the original terms of the award are met. An additional expense is recognised for
any modification that increases the total fair value of the share-based payment transaction, or is otherwise
beneficial to the employee as measured at the date of modification. Where an award is cancelled by the entity or
by the counterparty, any remaining element of the fair value of the award is expensed immediately through profit
or loss.
The dilutive effect of outstanding options is reflected as additional share dilution in the computation of diluted
earnings per share.
Provisions (other than for employee benefits)
A provision is recognised if, as a result of a past event, the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation
that can be estimated reliably, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the
obligation. Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows (representing the best
estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the balance sheet date) at a pre-tax rate that
reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The
unwinding of the discount is recognised as finance cost. Expected future operating losses are not provided for.
338Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognized upon transfer of control of promised products or services to customers for an amount that
reflects the consideration that we expect to receive in exchange for those products or services.
The variable consideration is estimated at contract inception and constrained until it is highly probable that a
significant revenue reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur.
Judgment is required in determining whether the Company is the principal or agent in transactions with hotel
partners and end-users. The Company evaluates the presentation of revenue on a gross or net basis based on
whether it controls the service provided to the end-user and is the principal (i.e. “Gross”), or the Company arranges
for other parties to provide the service to the end-user and is an agent (i.e. net”).
The Company collects indirect taxes on behalf of the government and, therefore, it is not an economic benefit
flowing to the Company. Hence, it is excluded from revenue. In the case of “FabHotels”, the channel partners
deposit applicable GST on accommodation services and the Company is depositing applicable GST on the
“service fee” collected from Channel Partner for provision of said services.
Revenue from accommodation and packages:
Under the brand “TravelPlus”, the Company provides corporate travel management workflow software and all
kinds of travel products and services (accommodation, packages, flights, bus, trains, cabs etc.) to the corporate
customers. In the case of accommodation and packages, the Company acts as a Principal and therefore recognized
on a gross basis by gaining control on accommodation and packages before providing it to the traveller (customer),
controls over the price latitude and it also assumes risk relating to cancellations done by end customers or
providing alternate accommodation. In the case of booking of flights, bus, trains, cabs etc. where the Company
acts as an agent and mere facilitator, revenue is recognized on a net basis under ‘Other operating revenue’.
Under the brand “FabHotels”, the Company is in business of providing accommodation services and generates
revenue from accommodation out of the sole exclusive arrangement entered with franchising partners budget hotel
rooms and offering the same for accommodation to end customers through online and offline channel.
The Company considers itself as Principal in these arrangements as it:
- is primary obligor towards performance of stay services to end customers;
- controls right to sell the room inventory under the brand name of “FabHotels” by obtaining sole exclusive
right from the hotel owners;
- has real time access through online portal over the room inventories;
- controls price latitude as it has sole discretion in establishing price for stay services to be charged from
end customers;
- takes risk towards the service delivery of the room stays and provides alternate room stays or bears
cancellation charges if not able to fulfil its obligation to end customer; and
- bears the credit risk.
Revenue from accommodation under the brand “FabHotels” and “TravelPlus” is recognized on the basis of used
room nights by end customers on accrual basis to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefit will flow
to the Company, and it can be reliably measured. The Company recognized revenue from packages on the date of
completion of package services. Cost of accommodation and packages includes cost of hotels, airlines and other
package services and is disclosed under “Service cost”.
Revenue is recognized net of cancellations, refunds, discounts, incentives and taxes payable by the Company.
339Contract Balances
Contract Assets:
A contract asset is recognized for the right to consideration in exchange for services transferred to the customer if
receipt of such consideration is conditional on completion of further activities/ services, i.e., the Company does
not have an unconditional right to receive consideration.
Trade receivables
A receivable is recognized if an amount of consideration that is unconditional is due from the customer (i.e., only
the passage of time is required before payment of the consideration is due).
Contract liabilities
A contract liability is the obligation to transfer services to a customer for which the Company has received
consideration (or an amount of consideration is due) from the customer. If a customer pays consideration before
the Company transfers services to the customer, a contract liability is recognised when the payment is made or
the payment is due (whichever is earlier). Contract liabilities are recognised as revenue when the Company
performs under the contract.
Interest
Interest income is recorded using the effective interest rate (EIR). EIR is the rate that exactly discounts the
estimated future cash payments or receipts over the expected life of the financial instrument or a shorter period,
where appropriate, to the gross carrying amount of the financial asset. When calculating the effective interest rate,
the Company estimates the expected cash flows by considering all the contractual terms of the financial instrument
(for example, prepayment, extension) but does not consider the expected credit losses. Interest income is included
in other income in the statement of profit and loss.
Leases
The determination of whether an arrangement is (or contains) a lease is based on the substance of the arrangement
at the inception of the lease. The arrangement is, or contains, a lease if fulfilment of the arrangement is dependent
on the use of a specific asset or assets and the arrangement conveys a right to use the asset or assets, even if that
right is not explicitly specified in an arrangement.
Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and
rewards of ownership to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases.
For arrangements entered into prior to April 1, 2022, the Company has determined whether the arrangement
contain lease on the basis of facts and circumstances existing on the date of transition.
Contingent liabilities
A contingent liability is a possible obligation that arises from past events whose existence will be confirmed by
the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events beyond the control of the Company or a
present obligation that is not recognized because it is not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to
settle the obligation. A contingent liability also arises in extremely rare cases where there is a liability that cannot
be recognized because it cannot be measured reliably. The Company does not recognize a contingent liability but
discloses its existence in the Restated financial information.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalent in the balance sheet comprise cash at banks and on hand and short-term deposits with
an original maturity of three months or less, which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
For the purpose of the restated statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and short-term
deposits, as defined above, net of outstanding bank overdrafts as they are considered an integral part of the
Company’s cash management.
340Statement of Cash Flows
Cash flows are reported using indirect method, whereby profit before tax is adjusted for the effects transactions
of a non-cash nature and any deferrals or accruals of past or future cash receipts or payments. The cash flows from
regular revenue generating, financing and investing activities of the Company are segregated. Cash and cash
equivalents in the cash flow comprise cash at bank, cash/cheques in hand and short-term investments with an
original maturity of three months or less.
Segment Reporting Policies
As the Company business activity primarily falls within a single business and geographical segment and the Chief
Operating Decision Maker (‘CODM’) monitors the operating results of its business units not separately for the
purpose of making decisions about resource allocation and performance assessment. Segment performance is
evaluated based on profit or loss and is measured consistently with profit or loss in the Restated financial
information, thus there are no additional disclosures to be provided under Ind AS 108 – “Segment Reporting”.
Income Tax
Income tax comprises current and deferred tax. It is recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates
to a business combination or to an item recognised directly in equity or in other comprehensive income.
Current tax
Current tax comprises the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year and any
adjustment to the tax payable or receivable in respect of previous years. The amount of current tax reflects the
best estimate of the tax amount expected to be paid or received after considering the uncertainty, if any, related to
income taxes. It is measured using tax rates (and tax laws) enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.
Current tax assets and current tax liabilities are offset only if there is a legally enforceable right to set off the
recognised amounts, and it is intended to realise the asset and settle the liability on a net basis or simultaneously.
Deferred tax
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and
liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the corresponding amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred
tax is also recognised in respect of carried forward losses and tax credits.
Deferred tax is not recognised for:
• temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a
business combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss at the time of the
transaction;
• temporary differences related to investments in subsidiaries, associates, and joint arrangements to the extent
that the Company is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable
that they will not reverse in the foreseeable future; and
• taxable temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of goodwill.
Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available
against which they can be used. Deferred tax assets unrecognised or recognised, are reviewed at each reporting
date and are recognised/ reduced to the extent that it is probable/ no longer probable respectively that the related
tax benefit will be realised.
Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or the
liability is settled, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.
The measurement of deferred tax reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the
Company expects, at the reporting date, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax liabilities
and assets, and they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity, or on
341different tax entities, but they intend to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis or their tax assets and
liabilities will be realised simultaneously.
Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the net profit or loss for the year attributable to equity
shareholders (after deducting preference dividends and taxes applicable) by the weighted average number of
equity shares outstanding during the year. The weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the
year is adjusted for events of bonus issue that have changed the number of outstanding, without a corresponding
change in resources.
For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the net profit or loss for the year attributable to equity
shareholders and the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year are adjusted for the effects
of all dilutive potential equity shares.
Exceptional Items
Exceptional items are transactions which due to their size or incidence are separately disclosed to enable a full
understanding of the Company financial performance. Exceptional items disclosed in statement of Profit and loss
includes loss on remeasurement of financial liabilities (compulsorily convertible preference shares valued at fair
value through profit and loss).
Standards issued but not effective
All the Indian Accounting Standards issued and notified by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs under the Companies
(Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 (as amended) till the time these financial statements have been adopted
by the Board of Directors, have been considered in preparing these financial statements.
Ministry of Corporate Affairs (“MCA”) notifies new standards or amendments to the existing standards under
Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules as issued from time to time. For the year ended March 31, 2025,
MCA has notified Ind AS – 117 Insurance Contracts and amendments to Ind AS 116 – Leases, relating to sale
and leaseback transactions, applicable to the Company i.e. April 1, 2025. On May 07, 2025, MCA notifies the
amendments to Ind AS 21 – Effect of changes in foreign currency rates. These amendments aim to provide clear
guidance as assessing currency exchangeability and estimating exchange rates when currencies are not readily
exchanges. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after April 01, 2025. The Company
has reviewed the new pronouncements and based on its evaluation has determined that it does not have any
significant impact on the financial statements.
Further, MCA has also notified amendments to the existing standards under companies (Indian Accounting
Standards), second amendments Rule 2025 on August 13, 2025. These amendments aim to align Indian standards
with recent international developments, particularly IFRS update and enhance transparency in financial reporting.
CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES
There have been no changes in our accounting policies during the six months ended September 30, 2025 and
Fiscals 2025, 2024 and 2023.
NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Net Worth, Return on Net Worth and Net Asset Value
per Equity Share (“Non-GAAP Financial Measures”) presented in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus is a
supplemental measure of our performance and liquidity that is not required by, or presented in accordance with
Ind AS. Further, these Non-GAAP Financial Measures are not a measurement of our financial performance or
liquidity under Ind AS and should not be considered in isolation or construed as an alternative to cash flows,
profit/ (loss) for the years/ period or any other measure of financial performance or as an indicator of our operating
performance, liquidity, profitability or cash flows generated by operating, investing or financing activities derived
in accordance with Ind AS. In addition, these Non-GAAP Financial Measures are not standardized terms, hence
a direct comparison of these Non-GAAP Financial Measures between companies may not be possible. Other
companies may calculate these Non-GAAP Financial Measures differently from us, limiting its usefulness as a
comparative measure. Although such Non-GAAP Measures are not a measure of performance calculated in
accordance with applicable accounting standards, our Company’s management believes that they are useful to an
investor in evaluating us as they are widely used measures to evaluate a company’s operating performance.

Fiscal 2025, primarily on account of an increase in salaries, bonus, allowances and benefits from ₹ 744.46 million
in Fiscal 2024 to ₹ 811.34 million in Fiscal 2025, due to annual salary increments with stability in headcount. This
was partially offset by decrease in share-based payment expenses from ₹ 153.08 million in Fiscal 2024 to ₹ 120.89
million in Fiscal 2025 due to decrease in new grants in stock options in Fiscal 2025.
Finance Costs
Our finance costs increased from ₹ 28.61 million in Fiscal 2024 to ₹ 59.45 million in Fiscal 2025, primarily on
account of an increase in interest costs (interest expense on lease liabilities) from ₹ 5.02 million in Fiscal 2024 to
₹ 18.55 million in Fiscal 2025, due to addition of new leases during last quarter of Fiscal 2024, and an increase in
interest costs (interest on borrowings) from ₹ 17.59 million in Fiscal 2024 to ₹ 33.91 million in Fiscal 2025, due
to higher working capital requirements driven by higher GTV from TravelPlus clients.
Depreciation and Amortization
Our depreciation and amortization expenses increased from ₹ 13.41 million in Fiscal 2024 to ₹ 36.75 million in
Fiscal 2025, primarily on account of an increase in depreciation on right of use asset from ₹ 8.91 million in Fiscal
2024 to ₹ 30.79 million in Fiscal 2025, due to addition of new leases during the last quarter of Fiscal 2024.
347Other Expenses
Our other expenses increased by 3.93% from ₹ 549.97 million in Fiscal 2024 to ₹ 571.59 million in Fiscal 2025,
primarily due to increases in commission and brokerage from ₹ 265.66 million in Fiscal 2024 to ₹ 280.26 million
in Fiscal 2025, business promotion and advertisement from ₹ 40.96 million in Fiscal 2024 to ₹ 51.92 million in
Fiscal 2025, and bad debts, advances and security deposits written off from nil in Fiscal 2024 to ₹ 36.08 million
in Fiscal 2025. This was partially offset by a decrease in allowance for doubtful (advance to suppliers) from ₹
22.62 million in Fiscal 2024 to nil in Fiscal 2025, and a decrease in allowance for doubtful (trade receivables)
from ₹ 15.09 million in Fiscal 2024 to ₹ 2.30 million in Fiscal 2025.

Assessing Officer has reduced the returned losses and raised the demand of ₹ 27.40 million and ₹ 120.28 million respectively on account of
certain disallowances and unexplained credit. Management is of the view, based upon the expert advice, that it will not have any impact on
the Company's financial position as the disallowances are not tenable and the Company is contesting against those in the higher appellate
authorities.
(2) The Company is involved in two separate arbitration matters, both of which are currently under challenge before competent courts under
the provisions of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996. (a) In one matter, an arbitral award granted claims aggregating to approximately
₹ 10.60 million against the Company. A conditional stay has been granted upon deposit of ₹ 10.00 million, which has been duly complied
with. (b) In another matter, an arbitral award dated August 30, 2024 granted claims aggregating to approximately ₹ 44.80 million, along
with interest at 15% per annum and costs. The award has been contested and the matter remains sub judice. The Company has assessed,
based upon legal advice, there was no evidence of liquidated damages were produced and basis of claim was unsubstantiated therefore
management is of the view that it is not probable, that an outflow of economic resources will arise in absence of these evidences u/s 34 of
Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996. Accordingly, these demands have been disclosed as contingent liabilities, and no provision has been
recognized in the restated financial statements.

352RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
We enter into various transactions with related parties in the ordinary course of business. For further information
relating to our related party transactions, see “Restated Financial Information – Note 31 – Related Party
Transactions” on pages 300.
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We are exposed to market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. Our focus is to ensure liquidity which is sufficient to
meet our operational requirements. We monitor and manage key financial risks so as to minimise potential adverse
effects on our financial performance. We have a risk management policy which covers the risks associated with
the financial assets and liabilities.
Market Risk
Market risk is the risk or uncertainty arising from possible market price movements and their impact on the future
performance of a business. There are no material market risks affecting the financial position of the Company.
Foreign currency risk
Foreign exchange risk comprises risk that may arise to the Company because of fluctuations in foreign currency
exchange rates. Fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates may have an impact on the Restated Statement of
Profit and Loss. As at the year / period end, the Company was exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from
foreign currency payables.
The Company evaluates exchange rate exposure arising from these transactions and enters into foreign currency
derivative instruments to mitigate such exposure. The Company follows established risk management policies,
including the use of foreign exchange forward contracts to hedge its exposure to foreign currency risk.
Credit risk
Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial
loss to the Company. The Company's exposure to credit risk primarily arises from trade receivables, financial
assets and security deposits. The credit risk on bank balances is limited because the counterparties are banks with
good credit ratings. The Company's exposure and credit worthiness of its counterparties are continuously
monitored.
Liquidity risk
The Company manages liquidity risk by maintaining sufficient cash and cash equivalents including bank deposits
and availability of funding through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities to meet the obligations when
due. Management monitors rolling forecasts of liquidity position and cash and cash equivalents on the basis of
expected cash flows. In addition, liquidity management also involves projecting cash flows considering level of
liquid assets necessary to meet obligations by matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities and
monitoring balance sheet liquidity ratios.

Nomination facility to investors
In accordance with Section 72 of the Companies Act, 2013, read with the Companies (Share Capital and

of all the Bidders, as the case may be, the Equity Shares of face value ₹ 1 each Allotted, if any, shall vest to
the exclusion of all other persons, unless the nomination is modified or cancelled in the prescribed manner. A
person, being a nominee, entitled to the Equity Shares of face value ₹ 1 each by reason of the death of the
original holder(s), in accordance with Section 72 of the Companies Act, shall be entitled to the same advantages
to which he or she would be entitled if he or she were the registered holder of the Equity Share(s). Where the
nominee is a minor, the holder(s) may make a nomination to appoint, in the prescribed manner, any person to
become entitled to Equity Share(s) in the event of his or her death during the minority. A nomination shall
stand rescinded upon a sale/transfer/alienation of Equity Share(s) by the person nominating. A nomination
may be cancelled or modified by nominating any other person in place of the present nominee, by the holder
of the Equity Shares of face value ₹ 1 each who made the nomination, by giving a notice of such cancellation
or variation to our Company. A buyer will be entitled to make a fresh nomination in the manner prescribed.
Fresh nomination can be made only on the prescribed form available on request at our Corporate Office or to the
Registrar and Transfer Agent of our Company.
Any person who becomes a nominee by virtue of the provisions of Section 72 of the Companies Act, 2013
shall upon the production of such evidence as may be required by our Board, elect either:
a) to register himself or herself as the holder of the Equity Shares of face value ₹ 1 each; or
b) to make such transfer of the Equity Shares of face value ₹ 1 each, as the deceased holder could
have made.
Further, our Board may at any time give notice requiring any nominee to choose either to be registered himself
or herself or to transfer the Equity Shares of face value ₹ 1 each, and if the notice is not complied with within
a period of 90 days, the Board may thereafter withhold payment of all dividends, interests, bonuses or other
monies payable in respect of the Equity Shares of face value ₹ 1 each, until the requirements of the notice have
been complied with.
Since the Allotment of Equity Shares of face value ₹ 1 each in the Offer will be made only in dematerialised
mode, there is no need to make a separate nomination with our Company. Nominations registered with
respective Depository Participant of the Bidder would prevail. If the Bidder wants to change the nomination, they
are requested to inform their respective Depository Participant.

closure to listing continued to be six Working Days.
Phase II: This phase has become applicable from July 1, 2019. and was to initially continue for a period of three

1, 2023 and on a mandatory basis for all issues opening on or after December 1, 2023, vide SEBI circular bearing

423RESTRICTIONS ON FOREIGN OWNERSHIP OF INDIAN SECURITIES
Foreign investment in Indian securities is regulated through the Industrial Policy, 1991 (“Industrial Policy”) of
the Government of India and FEMA. While the Industrial Policy, 1991 prescribes the limits and the conditions
subject to which foreign investment can be made in different sectors of the Indian economy, FEMA regulates
the precise manner in which such investment may be made. Under the Industrial Policy, unless specifically
restricted, foreign investment is freely permitted in all sectors of the Indian economy up to any extent and
without any prior approvals, but the foreign investor is required to follow certain prescribed procedures for
making such investment. The RBI and the concerned ministries/departments are responsible for granting
approval for foreign investment under the FDI Policy and FEMA.
The Government has from time to time made policy pronouncements on Foreign Direct Investment (“FDI”)
through press notes and press releases. The Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade ( “DPIIT”)
(earlier known as Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion), issued the Consolidated FDI Policy, which
is effective from October 15, 2020, which subsumes and supersedes all previous press notes, press releases and
clarifications on FDI issued by the DPIIT that were in force and effect prior to October 15, 2020. The
Consolidated FDI Policy will be valid until the DPIIT issues an updated circular. As on date, under the
Consolidated FDI Policy, up to 100% foreign investment under the automatic route is currently permitted in the
services sector. As per the Consolidated FDI Policy, our business is currently categorized under the services
sector. The FDI Policy and the FEMA Rules prescribe inter alia the method of calculation of total foreign
investment (i.e., direct foreign investment and indirect foreign investment) in an Indian company.
The transfer of shares between an Indian resident and a non-resident does not require the prior approval of the
RBI, provided that (i) the activities of the investee company are under the automatic route under the
Consolidated FDI policy and transfer does not attract the provisions of the SEBI Takeover Regulations; (ii) the
non-resident shareholding is within the sectoral limits under the Consolidated FDI policy; and (iii) the pricing
is in accordance with the guidelines prescribed by the SEBI/RBI.
On October 17, 2019, Ministry of Finance, Department of Economic Affairs, had notified the FEMA Rules,
which had replaced the Foreign Exchange Management (Transfer and Issue of Security by a Person Resident
Outside India) Regulations 2017. Foreign investment in this Offer shall be on the basis of the FEMA Rules.
Further, in accordance with Press Note No. 3 (2020 Series), dated April 17, 2020 issued by the DPIIT and the
Foreign Exchange Management (Non-debt Instruments) Amendment Rules, 2020 which came into effect from
April 22, 2020, any investment, subscription, purchase or sale of equity instruments by entities of a country
which shares land border with India or where the beneficial owner of an investment into India is situated in or
is a citizen of any such country, will require prior approval of the Government, as prescribed in the Consolidated
FDI Policy and the FEMA Rules. Further, in the event of transfer of ownership of any existing or future FDI in
an entity in India, directly or indirectly, resulting in the beneficial ownership falling within the aforesaid
restriction/ purview, such subsequent change in the beneficial ownership will also require approval of the
Government. Each Bidder should seek independent legal advice about its ability to participate in the Offer. In
the event such prior approval of the Government of India is required, and such approval has been obtained, the
Bidder shall intimate our Company and the Registrar to the Offer in writing about such approval along with a
copy thereof within the Bid/Offer Period.
As per the existing policy of the Government of India, OCBs cannot participate in this Offer. For details, please
see section titled “Offer Procedure” on page 397.
For details of the aggregate limit for investments by NRIs and FPIs in our Company, please see sections titled
“Offer Procedure – Bids by Eligible Non-resident Indians” and “Offer Procedure – Bids by Foreign Portfolio
Investors” on pages 405 and 406, respectively.
